ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a special physical activity program can help prevent burnout among caregivers. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion often caused by prolonged stress, and this study aims to see if participating in regular physical activity can reduce the risk of experiencing it. The program will last for 10 weeks, and researchers will evaluate its effectiveness at the end of this period.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be at least 18 years old and work as non-physician health professionals at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde. They should also have a low to moderate level of physical activity and should not have any serious health issues that would prevent them from participating. Participants will need to have a smartphone or tablet with internet access and be able to read, write, and understand French. Throughout the study, participants can expect to engage in guided physical activities designed to help them manage stress and improve their well-being.
