What this trial studies

This observational study aims to provide cost-effective pastoral counseling for stress management in the workplace and daily life. It focuses on a holistic approach to wellness, utilizing biofeedback tools such as a Pulse MD finger monitor and contactless infrared thermometer to help participants achieve emotional equilibrium. Participants must be verified adults aged 21 and older, with specific eligibility criteria including a smoke-free and drug-free policy. The study emphasizes the importance of ethical standards and requires participants to engage in self-help practices.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are unmarried adults aged 21 and older who are competent, physically active, and have a belief in faith-based healing.

Not a fit: Patients who are not willing to adhere to the smoke-free, drug-free, and alcohol-free policy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could offer effective stress management techniques that enhance emotional well-being for adults.

How similar studies have performed: While holistic approaches to stress management have been explored, this specific methodology is relatively novel and untested.
