Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate potential correlation of stress as estimated by certain biological markers namely saliva cortisol Heart rate variability HRV Electromyography EMG with musculoskeletal system health status and assess the impact of a stress management interventionThe intervention group will be trained to apply two evidence based stress management techniques and they will be guided with tips and advice about musculoskeletal health
Impact of the intervention upon measured stress related markers will be assessed
Impact of the intervention upon measured stress related markers will be assessed
Detailed Description:
The goal of this non-pharmacological randomized interventional study is to investigate work-related stress in relation to the musculoskeletal health of employees
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if stress management interventions in employees can improve self-reported musculoskeletal health problems or Medically Unexplained Symptoms MUS in relation with biomarkers of stress
Secondary outcomes will include quality of life improvement and the number of absences from work due to musculoskeletal conditions
The main question aims to answer if specific stress management techniques can improve the self-reported musculoskeletal health of employees
Researchers will compare the results between two groups one participating in the the six 6 week program and the other not participating to measure the effect size in the intervention group and between groups
Participants from both groups will be measured twice on week 1 and week 8 with the same self-report questionnaires and stress biomarkers if possible Especially for the intervention group a six-week stress management program will be applied This will include the participation in one and a half hour consultation meetings about stress musculoskeletal health psychosocial work-related factors and how to improve well-being and worklife satisfaction
