Study summary

Employees in hospitals are exposed to various stressors and can be at risk of psychological stress. To counteract this, resilience programs are increasingly being offered. Most interventions focus on individual resilience. In this study, the focus is on the resilience of teams. For this reason, this research paper will focus on the Tea(m)Time intervention. Tea(m)Time is a health promotion intervention that combines the risk assessment of mental stress with a focus on team resilience. In order to generate knowledge about the Tea(m)Time intervention, this study aims to identify factors that promote and inhibit its implementation and mediate its effectiveness. The aim is to gain insights into the promotion of resilience in teams. The aim is to conduct the survey of the participants in the intervention group and the control group at three different points in time.

    Tea(m)Time is divided into two phases, starting with the qualification of team leaders. This starts with knowledge transfer about healthy leadership, resilience, occupational health and safety, posture work, psychological empowerment, agile management and the role of the manager. The team leaders also learn various moderation/coaching techniques. The qualification is followed by the implementation of Tea(m)Time. The teams start each hour with self-reflection. This is followed by a stress assessment and prioritization. The teams then work on the problems identified and look for solutions together.
