简要总结
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.
详细描述
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. WHPP was PMR training, posture and breath exercises, and ergonomic suggestions.

研究组 & 干预措施
intervention
The WHPP was applied to the intervention group in the workplace for two times a week for five weeks. During the first 5 minutes of the session, breathing exercises, 20 minutes, PMR and 10 minutes, posture exercises were performed. PMR has progressed gradually to every session. The program is under control with a follow-up chart of what the participants do every day, and the participants were supported with various reminders (i.e., graphical leaflets on PMR techniques which also can be used as a guide while practicing at home).

Control
Participants of the control group rested in a room for 40 minutes and were told that they could read every session.
结局指标
主要结局
The Professional Quality of Life Scale, Version 4 (ProQoL):
时间窗: Change from Baseline to after 5 weeks and at a year
ProQoL (has 30 items) measures the positive and negative effects experienced by those who choose to help people with pain and trauma (Stamm, 2009). It is made up of three subscales: Compassion Satisfaction (CS), Burnout, Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). The ProQOL prompts participants to rate the frequency of the experience of certain feelings in their workplace with the clients in the last 30 days. Items are rated on a 6-point scale (from 0: never to 5:very often).
Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE):
时间窗: Change from Baseline to after 5 weeks and at a year
Brief COPE (has 28 items) measures 14 different coping strategies and they targets three categories: problem-focused (active coping, planning, use of instrumental support), emotion-focused (use of emotional support, positive reframing, acceptance, religion, humor), and dysfunctional coping (venting, denial, substance use, behavioral disengagement, self-distraction, self-blame. Each statement is graded on a four-point Likert scale: 1 = very seldom, 2 = fairly seldom, 3 = fairly often, 4 = very often.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Change from Baseline to after 5 weeks and at a year
VAS is a tool developed by Price et al., aims to measure subjective experience such as pain (Hasson \& Arnetz, 2005). Also, in the literature, VAS was reported to have a better response(i.e., ability to detect clinically significant change) compared to the Likert scale and might also be more reliable and valid (Vickers, 1999). The scale was applied by marking a point on the vertical or horizontal line that corresponds to the severity of the pain/fatigue/stress felt by the person, with a length of 10 cm and two different names (0 = no pain, 10 = most severe pain). The distance between the marking point and the lowest tip of the line was measured in centimeters, and the numerical value found was indicative of the pain/fatigue/stress intensity of the person
