Summary

Pain, fatigue, and stress lead to decrease on their work performance with biopsychosocial functioning disorders on nurses. This study was conducted to examine the effects of the "Workplace Health Promotion Program" (WHPP) on pain, fatigue, stress, professional quality of life (Pro-QoL) and coping skills for nurses.

Detailed description

The investigators conducted a randomized control trail in 30 nurses admitted to their Hospital. Progressive relaxation training, posture and breath exercises and ergonomic suggestion as a WHPP was applied to the intervention group (n=15) during the five weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to determine the pain, fatigue and stress levels of the nurses. Brief COPE and the Professional Quality of Life Scale, Version 4 (Pro-QoL) were used to evaluate the coping skills and quality of life. The evaluations were performed three times on all the participants as; before and after training and the one-year follow-up. Inclusion criteria of this study were working actively and at least 40 hours working in a week. Participants who have psychiatric illnesses with or without medication, prior training or current use of relaxation therapy and participants without consent were excluded. Eighty nurses aged between 18 and 65, working in a hospital have been informed about the study. Forty-three nurses who met the criteria and signed consent forms were included in this study.
