Feasibility of Stress Management Education Delivered Via Virtual Classroom in Nursing Homes: a Pilot Study of a RCT

Ten-hour, three-course stress management programme with a psychologist via video conferencing over a 2 month period. The classes will be delivered in small groups of maximum seven care workers. Carers can be brought together in the same room, but the speaker will necessarily be at a distance, via videoconferencing. The formation will adress the following issues: i) Understanding the mechanisms of stress, ii) Identifying sources of stress and triggers, iii) Anticipate stressful situations and use their resources to prevent them, and iv) Use the most appropriate stress-reduction techniques, depending on their sensitivity.
