Busch, C., Dreyer, R., & Janneck, M. (in press). Blended Health Coaching for Work-linked couples: Coaches' intervention fidelity and empathy matter! (accepted 28.12.2021) Coaching I Theory & Practice
In the present study, we investigated coaches’ behavior and the coaching mechanisms that impact the effectiveness of blended couple coaching to enhance detachment and WLB using an adapted design and mixed methods. We chose an extreme context in regard to detachment and WLB: SBOs and their spouses. Clients’ affinity for technology interaction and the hypothesized coaching mechanisms of change, i.e., spousal support during the coaching, result-oriented self-reflection, positive affect predicted coaching satisfaction and goal attainment 4 months after the coaching ceased when coaches delivered the coaching as intended. Coaches’ empathy predicted clients’ goal attainment. The results showed large intervention effects on detachment and middle intervention effects on WLB 4 months after the coaching ceased independent of coaches’ behavior with regard to intervention fidelity. Our results suggest that coaches’ intervention fidelity matters for activating the coaching mechanisms of change and for coaching outcomes. Coaches’ empathy matters for clients’ goal attainment.
