Summary

This trial tests a program called Braining, where psychiatric staff and patients exercise together, to see if it improves staff health and physical activity. About 20 staff members from each of four psychiatric units in Stockholm will participate, receiving training and support for six months. Researchers will measure changes in stress, sleep, general health, and activity levels, and also assess how well the program is accepted and implemented. The goal is to determine if this shared-exercise approach is feasible and beneficial in a real-world psychiatric setting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Braining intervention: psychiatric staff and patients exercise together, with staff receiving training and implementation support over 6 months.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a practical way to improve staff health, reduce stress, and increase physical activity in psychiatric workplaces, potentially benefiting both staff and patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not generalize. The intervention's success depends on staff buy-in and implementation, and it may not produce lasting health changes.
