Randomized Controlled Trial
A Multimodal Prevention Program for Stress Reduction—Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Stress-reducing preventive measures and the elements of which they are made up have been inadequately studied to date. In this trial, we studied the stress experienced over the twelve months from the beginning of the intervention by subjects who underwent a two-week-long multimodal prevention program for stress reduction with a psycho-educative component, with a refresher at six months, compared to that experienced by subjects in two control groups (CG-B: prevention program without psychoeducation, CG-C: no intervention). ⋯ This exploratory trial reveals a lessening of subjectively experienced stress after participation in a two-part prevention program for stress reduction with a specific psychoeducative component.
