Summary

This study will examine the effects of a 10-week Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) program on pain, work-related stress, quality of life, and eating attitudes in healthy adults working at a university. Twenty participants aged 25-55 will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving one BBAT group session per week for 12 weeks, or a control group, receiving no intervention during the same period.

Participants in both groups will be assessed before and after the 10-week period using validated scales: the Visual Analog Scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain, the Job Content Questionnaire (work stress scale) for work-related stress, the Short Form-36 for quality of life, and the Eating Attitudes Test-26 for eating attitudes. In addition, participants in the intervention group will keep a session-by-session exercise diary, and their written reflections will be used to provide qualitative insight into how they experienced the intervention, complementing the quantitative results. This combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection is intended to provide both statistical evidence and a richer understanding of participants' experiences with the therapy.
