Brief Summary

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

The study is a multiple cohort, staggered-entry, waitlist randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of a comprehensive resiliency-based program in reducing stress for correctional officers employed by the Leon County Sheriff's Office in Tallahassee, FL.

Detailed Description

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

The primary objective of the study is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive resiliency-based intervention, HeartMath, designed to reduce stress for correctional officers (COs) currently employed with the Leon County Sherriff's Office in Tallahassee, Florida. The study will also examine whether the intervention 1) improves perceptions of job satisfaction, workplace safety, and occupational stress; 2) improves CO retention and decreases absenteeism; 3) results in less punitive attitudes and greater apprehension to employ use of force.
