Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine if online coaching is feasible in advanced practice providers (APP) and can impact burnout. The study will recruit APPs from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), Emory, Colorado University (CU), and their affiliate hospitals through online consent sent via email. Interventions will include online video coaching, written coaching, and self-coaching through self-study material.


Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of establishing a coaching program directed toward Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), to determine the generalizability of tools shown to relieve physician burnout in the population of APPs, and to advance research in the field of healthcare wellness. The coaching group will have a curriculum of self-study modules, pre-recorded webinars, and worksheets. The coaching group will also have access to two live group calls per week as well as an online forum to receive anonymously written coaching. After four months, participants will be switched to the other group, so that each participant is exposed to treatment but at separate times. At the completion of each intervention time point, participants will fill out a post-study survey.

Other:
treatment as usual group (TAU)
The treatment as usual group will consist of any structural or programmatic interventions, resources, lectures, curriculum, etc. offered at the participants' hospital of employment. Thus, this active control is designed to represent a best-case alternative to group coaching, making it a more rigorous form of control. Participants randomly assigned to TAU will also continue any structural or programmatic interventions or resources they were previously participating in.
