Mental Health Resources and Employability in Healthcare

This interventional study evaluates the effectiveness of two 8-week self-regulation training programs (coaching-based and mindfulness-based) designed to enhance mental health and employability resources among healthcare workers (HCWs). Participants are allocated into two intervention arms based on their baseline level of anxiety (GAD-7). The study applies a non-randomized controlled pre-test/post-test design. The primary outcome is change in employability. Secondary outcomes include mental health indicators, such as perceived stress, anxiety, psychological well-being, and self-regulation. Baseline assessment was conducted in Week 1, the post-test in Week 10, and a follow-up assessment in Week 17. Additionally, qualitative feedback was collected to explore participants' subjective experiences with the interventions.
