Multisensory nature-based Recharge Rooms’ effect on healthcare workers in a multicenter study

The Recharge Rooms were well-received and associated with immediate, self-reported reductions in perceived stress. The self-reported improvement in perceived stress, mood, and alertness were promising results of this multisite, survey-based evaluation of the technology. Controlled trials using validated instruments are necessary to confirm these findings, assess long-term outcomes, and to better understand the physiological effects of this employee wellness intervention.

Abstract

The Recharge Rooms were well-received and associated with immediate, self-reported reductions in perceived stress. The self-reported improvement in perceived stress, mood, and alertness were promising results of this multisite, survey-based evaluation of the technology. Controlled trials using validated instruments are necessary to confirm these findings, assess long-term outcomes, and to better understand the physiological effects of this employee wellness intervention.
