      abstract = {Healthcare organisations worldwide are affected by the  shortage of health professionals due to
work-related stress  and health professional leaders play an important role by  implementing effective
strategies. Therefore, this study  aims to investigate whether the STRAIN intervention  program
(using evidence-based training for health  professional leaders) can reduce work-related stress  among
health professionals. This study is based on a  cluster randomised controlled trial, consists of  three
measurements and includes 165 participating  hospitals, nursing homes and home care organisations.
A  total of 206 health professional leaders took part in the  intervention programme and 19,340 health
professionals  participated in the study. Results showed no significant  differences (p > 0.05) between
the intervention and control  group regarding the effort-reward imbalance ratio,  quantitative demands,
opportunities for development, bond  with the organisation, quality of leadership, social  community,
role clarity, rewards, difficulties with  demarcation and work–private life conflict. Pre-/post-test  analysis
revealed a tendency for significant positive  results (p < 0.05) for stressors, stress symptoms and  longterm
consequences for organisations with a leaders’  participation rate of ≥ 75%. Leaders’ awareness,
commitment  and readiness is essential to implement effective  strategies reducing work-related stress},
