Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure changes in levels of self-esteem and the response to stress after positive psychology intervention for occupationally injured workers to motivate them to return to work. The participants included 221 male and 44 female employees of a corporation in Korea who attended a psychological rehabilitation program for 2 weeks. Questionnaires including the Multidimensional Psychological Test (MPT), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a stress response test were administered to measure levels of self-esteem and stress. The significant increase in self-esteem levels was found in men and women (p < .001). In addition, there was a significant decrease in stress response scores after the intervention. Conclusions: The psychological rehabilitation program was effective in increasing self-esteem and reducing stress response among workers with occupational injury.
