Primary interventions are preventative in focus and aim to remove or minimize work stressors (eg, excessive job demands, time pressure, and bullying at work) associated with work-related stress and poor mental health at work. Primary prevention involves changing the way that work is designed and managed to reduce the risks to employees’ work-related stress and mental health.

The Mediating Role of General and Cognitive Stress on the Effect of an App-Based Intervention on Productivity Measures in Workers: Randomized Controlled Trial

One example is a study of Happy@Work, a web-based guided self-help intervention to reduce depression at work [11]. While the authors identified presenteeism and absenteeism to be respectively responsible for more than 50% and 30% of the costs in a financial evaluation from both the societal perspective and employers’ perspective, the intervention itself was not considered to be cost-effective or cost-saving for the employer [12].

We will work to ensure that any potential combinations of indirect identifiers (particularly narrative descriptions of incidents) are presented in such a way as to reduce the risk of reidentification to the greatest degree reasonably possible. There are 4 participant groups to whom consent requirements apply (Table 1).

Faculty-Wide Peer-Support Program During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Design and Preliminary Results

Physicians experience a multitude of stressors and challenges associated with their day-to-day work. In addition to the demands of care provision, physicians also provide supervision, take on leadership and administrative duties, and act as educators in various capacities. Paralleling the multitude of stress experienced, physicians also report higher levels of burnout, depression, suicidal ideation, and mental distress relative to the general public [1].
