Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This protocol proposes a well-being program based in stress reduction program for employees of a company.

objectives: To evaluate the effects of a stress reduction program with a specific orientation for workers and taught to them within their companies.

Methods: Participants with stress complaints were recruited and randomized into two groups: group 1 (G1) received the intervention while group 2 (G2) did not. Both groups were evaluated before the intervention (time 1 - T1); again after the eight weeks of the program for G1 (time 2 - T2); and then at the end of a second eight-week period during which G2 received the intervention and G1 was simply instructed to maintain the practice they had learned without further instruction (time 3- T3).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Disorders resulting from chronic stress are some of the main causes of absenteeism and reduced productivity in companies. A number of successful stress management programs are based on the principle of mindfulness and may help individuals to relieve stress symptoms and to improve well-being and pro-social behavior. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a weekly one-hour stress reduction program adapted for companies and if the possible benefits would be sustained 8 weeks after the end of the program. Participants with stress complaints were recruited in two companies and they were randomized into two groups: in the first period of the study, group 1 (G1) N=23 received the intervention while group 2 (G2) N=18 did not. Both groups were evaluated before the intervention (time 1 - T1); again after the eight weeks of the program for G1 (time 2 - T2); and then at the end of a second eight-week period during which G2 received the intervention and G1 was simply instructed to maintain the practice they had learned without further instruction (time 3- T3).
