Studying HeartMath Program Effects on Stress, Emotional Vitality, and Sense of Coherence in Intensive Care Unit Nurses

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effect of the Heart Math intervention program on stress levels, emotional vitality, and sense of coherence among nurses working in intensive care units. The study focuses on how this behavioral program may influence these important aspects of wellbeing in a high-stress healthcare environment. The intervention consists of seven sessions delivered twice weekly, each lasting about 45 to 60 minutes. Each session introduces specific techniques such as heart coherence, heart-focused breathing, quick coherence, heart lock-in, freeze frame, attitude breathing, and coherence communication. Nurses participating will either receive this Heart Math program or no intervention as part of a randomized, single-blind study design. Participants will be monitored over two months, with assessments including resilience scales, personal and organizational quality evaluations, and measures of sense of coherence. The research involves tracking individual progress through personal practice logs and questionnaires to evaluate the impact of the intervention on stress and emotional health during the study period.
