背景：许多雇主为雇员提供有关工作和个人问题的咨询支持，但在经济压力时期，如果没有证明其有效性，这种服务可能会面临风险。目的：评估工作场所的限时咨询是否能影响幸福感的持续变化。方法：本研究由一所大学的教职员辅导小组进行。沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表（WEMWBS）由客户在咨询开始和结束时，以及在咨询后的3个月和6个月完成。未接受治疗的对照组以相同的时间间隔完成调查。结果：我们的调查结果清楚地表明，限时咨询（平均七次）对困扰客户的影响是积极的。我们治疗组的证据表明，由于咨询的经历，他们获得了更强的幸福感，咨询前和咨询后治疗组在WEMWBS上的得分有显著的统计差异，咨询后得分一直较高。在咨询结束后的至少六个月内，这种改善保持在同一水平。结论：雇主提供有时限的咨询是对影响工作的个人困难的有效支持。
Background: Many employers provide counselling support on work and personal issues for their employees, but in times of economic pressure such services can be at risk if their effectiveness is not demonstrated. Aim: To evaluate whether timelimited counselling in a workplace can effect sustained change in well-being. Method: The study was carried out by a staff counselling team in a university setting. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) was completed by clients at the beginning and end of counselling, and at three and six months following. A non-treatment comparison group completed the survey at the same intervals. Results: The results of our investigation show clearly that the effect of timelimited counselling (average seven sessions) on distressed clients is positive. The evidence of our treatment group suggests that they acquire an increased sense of well-being as a result of the experience of counselling with a significant statistical difference between pre-and post-counselling treatment group scores on the WEMWBS and consistently higher scores found post counselling. The improvement was maintained at the same level for at least six months following the end of counselling. Conclusions: The provision of time-limited counselling by employers is an effective support for personal difficulties affecting work.
