Biofeedback intervention for Psychophysiological disorders in Healthcare Professional; A Pakistani Perspective

Abstract

Biofeedback training is suggested to be an effective form of intervention to help individuals in public health reduce the level of stress, anxiety, depression, chronic back pain, and many other psychological and physiological disorders. All across the globe, it is observed that medical practitioners and students experience the worst anxiety and stress levels throughout their training and education programs, eventually giving rise to several different psychophysiological disorders. This short communication focuses on human studies on biofeedback treatment and psychological and physiological problems and conditions in healthcare workers for the last ten years. All the studies focusing on biofeedback intervention, stress, anxiety, depression, and back pain were included. It is suggested that Biofeedback interventions, training, and programs are indeed helpful and efficacious in reducing and managing stress, anxiety, and depression in healthcare workers. Moreover, chronic low back pain is also suggested to manage by using biofeedback. However, no interventional study has been conducted on the Pakistani population that can show the efficacy level of the biofeedback intervention in treating psychophysiological disorders.
