Short- and medium-term effectiveness (up to 3 years) of individual level stress management interventions (SMI) at work were demonstrated, yet long-term remains unexplored. We therefore aimed address this research gap.94 male middle managers participated in a randomized wait-list controlled trial between 2006 2008 post-trial-follow-up survey 2015. During the first two years, all received an 18-hour psychotherapeutic SMI intervention which was based on Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model:...

Job insecurity has been associated with impaired self-rated health (SRH) in cross-sectional studies, but prospective findings short, medium and long-term follow-up yielded mixed findings. Therefore, the aim of present study was to assess association between perceived job SRH, after controlling for baseline levels status life-style choices. Furthermore, three different periods (14, 19 24 years) were considered.Data derived from population-based MONICA/KORA cohort (southern Germany). N = 4356...
Prolonged work stress, as indicated by the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model, jeopardizes health. Cortisol represents a candidate mechanism connecting stress to ill However, previous findings appear inconclusive, and recommendations were made assess at multiple time points also investigate ERI (sub-)components. This study therefore examines effects of two single points, well mean change scores between its components on hair cortisol concentration (HCC), long-term measurement. Participants...
In previous studies, it was found that patients treated at a psychosomatic outpatient clinic (PSOC) for common mental disorders showed more severe symptoms than those who used psychotherapeutic consultation service the workplace (PSIW). This study examines whether higher symptom severity of PSOC in comparison to their PSIW counterparts is also related levels occupational stress as measured by demand-control-support model (DCS). N = 253 participants (PSIW n 100; 153) provided self-reported...

<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> Studies on the effectiveness of Stress Management Interventions (SMIs) currently lack long-term evaluations. Accordingly, this article addresses questions how workers who experience SMIs evaluate change after intervention as well SMIs’ implementation can be improved. By processing 50 semi-structured interviews by a qualitative analysis, results indicate that participants perceive themselves highly engaged and motivated at work. Attributing their engagement...
