Influence of a Cognitive Behavioural Training Program on Health: A Study among Primary Teachers // Influencia de un programa de entrenamiento cognitivo conductual sobre la salud: Un estudio con profesorado de Educación Primaria

Abstract

This longitudinal study was carried out to assess the efficacy of a cognitive behavioural training program that was designed to modify the cognitive and emotional processes related to work stress in a sample of teachers. The Training Group consisted of 21 teachers, and the Non Training Group comprised of 16 teachers. The training program was divided into four on-site sessions, and the difference between Time 1 and Time 2 was 4 months. The training program significantly reduced psychosomatic disorders levels in the Training Group from Time 1 to Time 2, and it significantly increased cortisol levels from Time 1 to Time 2.
