Why the study?

Stress management interventions aim to reduce work stress-related disease risk, potentially via autonomous nervous system improvements, but the effects of workplace stress management training on HRV required investigation.

Does a stress management training program improve heart rate variability in lower management employees?

Population

174 lower management employees

Comparison

Stress management training program vs waiting list control

Design

Randomized controlled trial

Follow-up

12 months

Overview

Brief stress management training improves nighttime SDANN in managers; extends RCT evidence linking workplace interventions to HRV gains.

Structured PICO

Does a stress management training program improve heart rate variability in lower management employees?

P
Population
174 lower management employees
I
Intervention
2-day stress management training program with a half-day booster after four and six months
C
Comparator
Waiting list control group
O
Outcome
Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters including HR, RMSSD, SDNN, and SDANN for 24 h and nighttime periods at 12 monthssurrogate

A brief stress management intervention for leaders can produce small but measurable improvements in nighttime heart rate variability (SDANN) at 12 months.
