The matrix of change objectives in the SMTW.

Session	Assignments	Change Objectives
Workshop 1	Psychoeducation session (definition, causes, and consequences of social and occupational life, as well as stress management styles and strategies); a psychoeducation pamphlet should be produced.	This educational approach increases knowledge and learning about the underlying causes of mental health problems and which evidence-based interventions can be used to treat such issues [32]. The pamphlet provides advice on finding indicators of stress and on relaxation and sleep hygiene, as well as stress reduction strategies such as exercise, laughter, and connecting with close friends.
Workshop 2	Relaxation techniques training (1—Deep Breathing Exercise; 2—Progressive Relaxation Techniques; and 3—Body scan, mindfulness meditation, self-compassion techniques).	By encouraging non-judgmental self-awareness and self-care, the participant gains a more stable and positive sense of self. The individual uses abilities to defend oneself, manage resources, and comfort oneself and others [54,55]. Emotion identification, self-validation, acknowledging and reframing self-critical thoughts, mindfulness meditation, and affirmations are all examples of self-compassion abilities [32].
Workshop 3	Positive self-talk and problem-solving skills are part of the cognitive restructuring techniques developed in this session.	This assignment focuses on recognizing misunderstandings, influencing skewed thinking, and thus reducing anxiety and boosting problem-solving abilities and reasoned practice [56].
Workshop 4	Humor therapy, in which participants practice humor through several methods (laughing videos, laughter meditation, sharing personal tales and jokes, and exchanging joyful ideas).	The participant improves emotion management by visual and linguistic expression of emotions, externalizing these feelings. In the nursing context, humor increases communication, well-being, and positive affect [57]. Individuals convey how they feel by expressing emotions and handling things in a constructive/helpful, comforting, and calming manner.
Workshop 5	Assertiveness training and time management.	The participant gains communication skills in the development and maintenance of strong interpersonal connections at work, as well as successful team functioning [58]. Individuals should leave this workshop with the necessary skills and information to speak more confidently and successfully, by employing assertive behavior tactics.This assignment also focuses on time management skills such as preparing lists, scheduling tasks, checking off each activity as it is completed, and avoiding distractions [59].
Workshop 6	Self-care training in facing death and dying—spirituality care.	Self-care reflexive individual exercises or in small groups, with different instruments (e.g., reflexive writing, visual aids, or storytelling).Topics discuss and reflect on personal values, including spirituality, being present during pain, the concept of dignity, spiritual self-care, hope, death, and the afterlife [60].
