Work stress and psychosocial risks are a major public health problem. Health-care workers
(HCW) are particularly at risk. Moreover, non-HCW staff of hospitals can also be at risk,
with working environment described as the main risk factor. The University Hospital (CHU)
of Clermont-Ferrand is one of the 3 CHUs in France with more than 10% absenteeism, and
the first CHU for duration of sick leave. The political orientations favor an approach to
improve the quality of life at work.
Sophrology is a psychocorporal method used as a therapeutic technique or experienced as a
philosophy of life. It is an exclusively verbal and non-tactile method. It combines a set
of techniques that will act both on the body and on the mind through breathing exercises,
muscle relaxation and mental imagery (or visualization). It allows to find a state of
well-being and to activate all physical and psychological potential in order to acquire a
better knowledge of oneself. NLP is a set of communication and self-transformation
techniques that focuses on reactions rather than the origins of behaviors. NLP associated
with sophrology proposes above all to mobilize the resources of the unconscious.
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) strategies are effective in the improvement in mental
(anxiety and depression), physical, and social health, both in the general population, in
individuals with social/psychological problems or in patients, both in hospital settings
or outside hospital. Similary, sophrology also demonstrated some benefits on symptoms of
patients. However, these approaches have never been provided in the workplace for the
benefits of workers at risk of stress-related disorders.
This protocol may permit improvements of stress-related outcomes. Putative short-term
benefits: This protocol may incidentally detect cardiac disorders. Any abnormality
discovered will not be covered by promotor's insurance (our exploratory study cannot lead
to such event) and will be supported by health insurance.
In general, the investigators aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of a workplace
sophrology / NLP intervention for HCW at risk of stress-related disorders. Stress and
well-being will be the target of the intervention, and will be measured both in a
subjective (questionnaire) and objective (biomarkers).
