Brief Summary

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

A study to analyze the psychophysiological effects of a preventative, 4-week resilience training with mobile heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BfB) in a workplace setting and the influence of the lecture format (digital vs. live) on the training success.

Detailed Description

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

This was a three-arm, non-randomized, controlled trial to examine the effects of a preventative, 4-week resilience training with mobile HRV-BfB on work-related stress in white-collar employees. Participants were asked to exercise autonomously three times per day for five minutes with the mobile HRV-BfB device. They additionally attended three lectures at the beginning of the first, third, and forth week. The aim of the lectures was to mediate a theoretical knowledge and to prepare the participants for the autonomous training. To examine the potential influence of the lecture format, one group attended live lectures (blended learning condition) and one group received access to online lectures (e-learning condition). Results of study's outcome measures were compared with a waitlist control group. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline (T0), after the 4-week intervention (T1), and at 4-week follow-up (T2).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resilience training with mobile HRV-BfB based on an e-learning approach (with digital lectures)

Intervention Type OTHER

A 4-week resilience training with a mobile HRV-BfB device. Participants received access to three online lectures at the start of the first, third, and forth training week (each lasting 60 minutes) to receive a theoretical base on resilience and to learn how to exercise with the HRV-BfB device. Participants were asked to exercise three times a day for 5 minutes in their occupational and leisure time with the HRV-BfB device.
