Be Well at Work-Plus: Depression and Physical Activity for Hospital Service Workers

This study is testing a program called "Be Well at Work-Plus" for hospital service workers who experience depression and physical inactivity. This program is designed specifically for low-wage workers and includes work-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy), work coaching, help with social needs like food and housing, and text messages for mood and physical activity. The study wants to see if this program is practical to use and if people like it. You might be able to join if you are an adult hospital service worker in Environmental Services or Food & Nutrition Services, work at least 20 hours a week, and have symptoms of depression. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

What this trial measures

  • Intervention FeasibilityFrom enrollment to end of treatment (approximately 4 months after enrollment).

    Feasibility will be assessed by the number of intervention sessions completed. The intervention will be considered feasible if the majority of participants complete 75% (6 of 8) or more phone sessions.

  • AcceptabilityFrom enrollment to end of treatment (approximately 4 months after enrollment)

    Acceptability will be assessed by the average of participants' ratings of intervention components on a 0-10 scale. Participants will rate each counseling session independently and will rate text messages on a monthly basis. The intervention will be considered acceptable if mean ratings are ≥ 7/10.
