摘要

This study examines the effects of various intervention types on stress levels, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being among participants following a six-week program. The final sample included 327 employees (aged 25–55) from a large company in Astana, Kazakhstan. Participants were assigned to one of three groups. Group A (n = 109) utilized Galaxy Watch5 smartwatches and the Samsung Health mobile application, attended hybrid functional training sessions, received individual psychological counseling, and participated in group art therapy sessions. Group B (n = 108) engaged in training sessions, counseling, and art therapy without the use of technology. Group C (n = 110) exclusively used smartwatches. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the perceived stress scale (PSS), the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and the WHO-5 well-being index. Repeated measures ANCOVA revealed significant time effects across all variables (PSS: η² = 0.21; SWLS: η² = 0.26; WHO-5: η² = 0.25) and significant group-by-time interactions (PSS: η² = 0.07; SWLS: η² = 0.06; WHO-5: η² = 0.09), with Group A showing the greatest improvements. The effects of gender and job position on the results were minimal. The findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive approach to enhancing well-being and stress management.
