Clinical Trial Summary

Frontline nurses increasingly face challenges between executing their jobs to the best of their ability and caring for their own physical and mental health. Such a stressful and fast-changing work environment impacts the nurses' psychological wellbeing, resulting in high levels of stress and burnout, which in turn negatively affects patient care and outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a short virtual intervention, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and adapted to caregivers, can lead to a reduction in psychological distress that may be associated with caregiving during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention will be held online in a group setting during two half-day workshops using a conference application (e.g. Zoom). Note: This study is part of an international joint research project "Nurse Health" between the Faculty of Psychology (University of Basel) and the Nethersole School of Nursing (Chinese University of Hong Kong), funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), with the Leading House for the Bilateral Science and Technology Cooperation Programme with Asia at ETH Zürich (Project No. COV_09_062020).
