Interventions

videoconferenceBEHAVIORAL

The intervention is a person-directed, individual, primary occupational intervention. It will be carried out via videoconference in six sessions of 45 minutes (on a weekly basis). Through guided dialogue, individual difficulties and opportunities of each subject will be examined in order to gain self-awareness of personal characteristics (strengths, limitations, maximum workload capacity) in their particular set of job demands and resources. Participants are encouraged to adopt the set of self-care strategies in each dimension, adapting them to their specific context. Activities will be carried out in Spanish by the researcher.
