Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

psychological assessment: Standardized and ad hoc test battery for comprehensive psychological assessment

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate changes in burnout, perceived stress, coping strategies, anxiety, depression, and psychological well-being among healthcare workers participating in a workplace yoga program.

Healthcare professionals are frequently exposed to high emotional demands, workload pressure, irregular shifts, and substantial clinical responsibilities, which may increase the risk of work-related stress and burnout. Workplace-based mind-body activities, including yoga, may support emotional regulation, physical recovery, stress management, and professional well-being.

Using a prospective pre-post observational design, participants will undergo a multidimensional psychological assessment before starting the workplace yoga program and after completing the 10-week program. The evaluation will include measures of burnout, coping strategies, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and satisfaction with the program.

The findings are expected to improve understanding of the potential association between participation in workplace yoga activities and changes in psychological and occupational well-being among healthcare workers. The results may also provide useful information for the development of organizational initiatives aimed at promoting employee well-being and preventing burnout in healthcare settings.
