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.
