Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objectives: The aim of the study therefore is to examine the optimal combination of different well-being intervention components to foster mental health and subjective well-being in a student and trainee population. The investigators draw on current concepts like mindfulness which already proved to be empirically effective and try to compare their effectiveness and understand how they work together, whether they strengthen or complement each other.
Methods: In a factorial design trial with 16 different intervention conditions, up to 240 students or trainees will participate in a 14-week well-being-intervention. This intervention with a maximum of 15 participants per course consists of weekly 1,5h sessions plus 3 full-day appointments using psycho-educational elements, practical exercises and group discussion on various topics. Participants will complete online surveys on subjective and psychological well-being, mental health, and several resilience factors pre-, during and post-intervention as well as 5 months after completion as follow-up assessments.
Implications: The study will contribute to an evidence-based and easily accessible and scalable well-being intervention, supporting health promotion and stress prevention in the general population.
