Summary

This trial tests a 5-month training program for middle managers in Danish hospitals. The program teaches managers how to care for their own well-being and support their employees' mental health. Researchers will compare managers who receive the training to those on a waitlist, measuring changes in stress, burnout, and job satisfaction for both groups.

What this could mean

Active substance: leadership training program
What this could lead to: If effective, this program could offer hospitals a practical way to improve manager and employee well-being and reduce burnout.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small study in one Danish region, so results may not apply elsewhere. The training is time-intensive and may not suit all workplaces.
