About this trial
This is a randomized controlled trial aiming to develop and evaluate a workplace health program to improve stress resilience and mental well-being among healthcare workers at University Medicine Essen using a participatory research design (including a steering committee composed of hospital staff, needs assessment through focus groups, and pilot testing). The intervention combines mind-body medicine techniques, complementary medicine self-care strategies, and psycho-biotic nutrition. If successful, the program will be integrated into routine workplace health management and serve as a model for other healthcare institutions.
