Description
Ejikeme and a large team of co-authors test a talk therapy for work stress among university lecturers with high blood pressure, in this 2026 study. The therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, works by disputing the irrational beliefs that feed stress. The participants taught tourism and hospitality, mathematics, and related subjects at state and federal universities.
Ninety-three lecturers took part in a randomized controlled study, with stress and belief measures taken at three time points. After the therapy, stress levels and illogical beliefs dropped sharply compared with the control pattern. The gains were still visible at follow-up, which the authors read as a lasting effect rather than a brief lift. They conclude the therapy helps educators build a calmer mindset and protect their health and work quality. Programs of this kind, they argue, deserve a place in staff support for workers living with hypertension.
