Fostering Optimal Regulation of Emotion for Prevention of Secondary Trauma (FOREST): Implementation and Evaluation of a Burnout Prevention Program for Staff in Gun Violence Prevention Programs
FOREST is a positive emotion skills program designed to target mental health and coping needs for frontline violence prevention workers at READI Chicago. Ten skills are taught over a period of nine months during existing meetings and wellness activities, as well as in online modules in READI's Learning Management System (LMS). Through infusing the FOREST skills throughout READI, we hope to inspire organizational culture change that will emphasize the importance of wellbeing and enhance resilience, therefore reducing burnout and turnover.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Decrease in burnout measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). | The MBI evaluates burnout severity based on three aspects: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment, with higher scores on the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales, and lower scores on the personal accomplishments subscale, indicating increased levels of burnout. Responses on the scale range from "never" to "every day." | 12 months | |
Primary | Increase in positive affect measured by PROMIS Short Form v1.0- Positive Affect 15a. | PROMIS Positive Affect assesses momentary positive or rewarding affective experiences, such as feelings and mood associated with pleasure, joy, elation, contentment, pride, affection, happiness, engagement, and excitement. Responses options range from "Not at all" to "Very much" with higher scores indicate higher levels of positive affect. | 12 months | |
Primary | Decrease in depression measured by PROMIS Short Form v1.0- Depression 4a. | PROMIS Depression Bank assesses self-reported negative mood (sadness, guilt), views of self (self-criticism, worthlessness), and social cognition (loneliness, interpersonal alienation), as well as decreased positive affect and engagement (loss of interest, meaning, and purpose). Response options range from "Never" to "Always" with higher scores indicate higher levels of depression. | 12 months | |
Primary | Decrease in anxiety measured by PROMIS Short Form v1.0- Anxiety 4a. | PROMIS Anxiety Bank assesses self-reported fear (fearfulness, panic), anxious misery (worry, dread), hyperarousal (tension, nervousness, restlessness), and somatic symptoms related to arousal (racing heart, dizziness). Response options range from "Never" to "Always" with higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety. | 12 months | |
Primary | Measure of trauma exposure using the Lifetime Events Checklist (LEC). | The LEC measures trauma exposure, including the ability to differentiate direct experience vs work-related or other secondary exposure through a series of questions about stressful events, with responses including "happened to me," "witnessed it," "learned about it," "not sure," and "doesn't apply," followed up by a question asking if the experience happened as part of one's job. There is no formal scoring protocol or interpretation per se, other than identifying whether a person has experienced one or more of the events listed. | 12 months | |
Primary | Measure of PTSD symptoms using the the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). | The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. Responses range from "not at all" to "extremely," with higher scores indicating higher occurrence of PTSD symptoms. | 12 months | |
Primary | Increase in meaning and purpose measured by PROMIS Short Form v1.0- Meaning and Purpose 4a. | PROMIS Meaning and Purpose Bank assesses one's sense of life having purpose and that there are good reasons for living. Higher scores indicate hopefulness, optimism, goal-directedness, and feelings that one's life is worthy. | 12 months | |
Primary | Improvement in professional quality of life/well-being measured by Eudaimonic Workplace Well-being Scale (EWWS). | EWWS measures workplace well-being on both interpersonal and intrapersonal dimensions through a series of eight statements where respondents indicate how strongly they relate to those statements. Values range from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree," with higher scores reflecting higher workplace well-being/quality of life. | 12 months | |

Secondary | Increase in staff retention | Measured by number of staff who have stayed employed for >1 year based on employee records | 12 months | |
