By implementing an intervention program, the Salutogenic Cafe, this study aims to examine its effectiveness by investigating how individual characteristics, specifically the Sense of Coherence, which reflects stress coping ability, and work engagement, an indicator of work related well being and motivation, change following participation in the program.

The Salutogenic Cafe program will be conducted. The program consists of one cycle of three sessions. The purpose of this format is to help participants gain objective insights by engaging in discussions with different members in each session.
During the sessions participants will be provided with examples of positive reframing. For example instead of saying Please be careful not to spill your coffee participants may say Please enjoy this delicious coffee until the very last sip. This approach is intended to encourage participants to consider and discuss the themes from multiple perspectives.
Participants will be assigned to either the early intervention group or the delayed intervention group, which serves as a waitlist control. Participants in Control 1 will receive the intervention first.
