摘要
Aim: In the present study, the benefits of a short-term sleep coaching intervention embedded in the workplace health promotion (WHP) program of the German Armed Forces was investigated. Participants and methods: Well-being, self-care awareness, self-care behavior and irritation of participants attending the sleep coaching (n = 24) and participants attending other courses offered in the WHP program (n = 24) were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: Participants attending the sleep coaching had a significant increase in well-being, self-care behavior and self-care awareness and a significant decrease in their irritation score after attending the sleep coaching. In the control group, no significant change in the dependent variables was observed; furthermore, participants’ evaluation of the sleep coaching was positive on both affective reactions and utility judgements. Conclusions: Results show that the sleep coaching intervention evaluated is practically feasible and able to improve important indicators of employees’ well-being and self-care in WHP programs. © 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.
