What this trial studies
This intervention focuses on reducing work-related stress among healthcare workers and non-healthcare workers in a hospital setting by employing sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) techniques. The study aims to enhance the quality of life at work by utilizing verbal and non-tactile methods that promote relaxation, mental imagery, and self-awareness. Participants will engage in breathing exercises and mental visualization to improve their overall well-being and manage stress levels effectively. The study is conducted at the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, which has been facing high absenteeism rates due to work stress.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are hospital workers aged 18-65 who experience high levels of stress as indicated by a visual analogue scale.
Not a fit: Patients with significant psychiatric or chronic health conditions that may interfere with the study's measurements will not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the mental and physical well-being of hospital staff, leading to reduced absenteeism and enhanced job satisfaction.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that similar approaches using sophrology and NLP techniques can effectively improve mental health outcomes in various populations.
