It is suggested that early career researchers’ (ECRs) are a risk population to develop mental health problems related to stress, burnout or anxiety and depression. In response to this alarming situation and following the European Research Area policies regarding researchers’ wellbeing, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) started working towards the creation of mentally healthier research environments, since a 50% of doctoral candidates showed anxiety and a 45%, moderate to severe symptoms of depression after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Social Responsibility Unit and the Doctoral School contacted the Core Mental Health Unit and coordinated local research teams working on wellbeing promotion to design and implement action plans towards mental health prevention at the UAB. Among other actions, an innovative prevention program was designed and tested among ECRs: the Third Half. The name refers to a rugby tradition in which the players meet after the match in a more informal environment to spend some more time together with the rivals and colleagues having a drink and promoting friendship and fair play. It was framed within the motivational model of self-determination and the humanistic principles of education, where unconditional acceptance is a key principle of the learning process. The activity was announced in the UAB’s website and an e.mail was sent to all Ph.D. candidates to ask for participation. Although 80 ECRs applied for the activity in only 5 days after its announcement, just 25 could participate in the pilot study. It consisted in six gamified outdoor sessions of 3 hours each, delivered once a month in outdoor-green spaces, and guided by 2 researchers-psychologists specialized in gamification, coaching and Positive Psychology. A pre-post design of repeated measures showed significant increases in almost all motivation and wellbeing indicators, while significant decreases in anxiety and negative affect were also obtained. Internal quality assessment showed that participants’ satisfaction levels ... |
