A review of the Emotional Logic Stress Reduction Programme delivered to NHS Somerset staff found strong evidence that the training helped improve wellbeing, resilience, and emotional awareness.

The programme was completed by 321 NHS staff members and consisted of a self-led online course, practical wellbeing resources and access to Emotional Logic tools.

Key Findings

95% of participants who completed both the pre- and post-course assessments showed an improvement in their wellbeing scores.
21% achieved a major improvement in wellbeing, indicating a significantly reduced risk of stress-related illness and workplace absence.
No participant's wellbeing score decreased during the programme.
76% of respondents said they enjoyed the course.
79% said they would recommend it to others.
Nearly half of those who would recommend the course said they would recommend it to colleagues, while others would also recommend it to family members.

Measuring Wellbeing

Participants completed the Emotional Logic Developmental Profile (ELDP) before and after the programme. This validated questionnaire, designed by doctors, measures emotional awareness, resilience, and wellbeing.

What the Results Suggest

The findings indicate that Emotional Logic can be an effective tool for helping people understand and manage stress more effectively. The programme not only improved wellbeing for most participants but also generated strong levels of satisfaction and recommendation among NHS staff.

Key Takeaway

This NHS staff programme demonstrated that Emotional Logic training can help people develop greater emotional resilience, improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of stress-related absence from work. The high improvement rates and strong recommendation levels suggest it is a valuable approach for supporting workforce wellbeing.
