Abstract
Work-related stress is increasingly recognized as a systemic issue, impacting employees' well-being and leading to severe health risks. Effective intervention strategies are crucial for addressing mental load and chronic stress. This study investigates the effects of tactile stimulation through vibrations, synchronized with heart rate and gradually decreasing in tempo, on stress reduction. Additionally, the study examines the potential synergistic effects of combining these vibrations with music.
