Filter by:Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VA) is prioritizing employee well-being due to crisis levels of clinician burnout and turnover. The VA aims to achieve this by becoming a "Best Place to Work" while delivering high quality, safe and equitable care to Veterans using learning health system (LHS) and high reliability organization (HRO) principles. The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) has proposed organizations create supportive learning environments to improve workforce well-being. However, there is no one-size-fits all solution. While the VA has invested in system level well-being efforts, including the Reduce Employee Burnout and Optimize Organizational Thriving (REBOOT) initiative, there is little guidance for teams on how to create supportive learning environments. To fill this gap, we developed The Relational Playbook. The Playbook consists of research-based resources and 50 evidence-based interventions for nurse managers to implement to change their team cultures including how to create joy in work and address difficult relationships. To support managers implementing the Playbook, the investigators propose leadership coaching as a novel implementation strategy. Significance: The significance of this project is the potential to provide frontline managers with resources and research-based tools to create supportive learning environments that enhance employee well-being. Additionally, the study will contribute to the fields of implementation, LHS and HRO science and the VA efforts to enhance employee well-being and reduce burnout and turnover. Innovation and Impact: The proposed research is innovative in that it attempts to shift the current model for the creation of supportive learning environments from an organization-level focus to the team level - where Veterans receive care. The investigators will partner with VA cardiac catheterization laboratories (CCLs) as a model LHS for this work. The investigators aim to implement and establish the feasibility and acceptability of the Relational Playbook intervention combined with leadership coaching. The hypothesis is that enhanced leadership coaching will be a more feasible and acceptable approach to support Playbook implementation and the cultivation of supportive learning environments than standard implementation support. Specific Aims: Aim 1: Test the implementation, feasibility and acceptability of the Playbook intervention, coaching strategy, and study procedures. The VA Collaborative Evaluation Center (VACE), an independent group of mixed methods experts, will collect the feasibility and acceptability measures developed by Weiner et al. and select Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (REAIM) measures. Aim 2: Conduct a mixed methods process evaluation of intervention implementation. VACE will collect interview data to understand 1) intervention adaptations, ease of use, engagement, usefulness, and 2) implementation speed, costs, barriers, facilitators, and unintended consequences. Methodology: The investigators propose a pilot, site randomized trial design with an embedded mixed methods process evaluation. The investigators have enrolled 6 CCLs and will collect staff and unit level data using surveys and interviews at baseline, 6 and 12 months. All 6 sites will implement the Playbook. CCLs will be randomized to enhanced leadership coaching implementation support (n=3) or standard implementation support (n=3). The enhanced implementation group will receive 6 months of virtual leadership coaching support. The standard implementation group will receive logistical support, but no advisement or coaching. Next steps: The study findings will 1) establish the feasibility and acceptability of the Playbook intervention combined with a leadership coaching implementation strategy, and 2) inform the design of a pragmatic adaptive effectiveness trial. This trial will test the impact of the Playbook and coaching on employee well-being and factors that contribute to employee burnout, which is a new VA research priority area. This project is relevant to all aspects of VA healthcare for it will test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel Relational Playbook combined with a leadership coaching implementation strategy for frontline managers to cultivate supportive learning environments. This work will inform national efforts to enhance employee wellbeing due to crisis levels of employee burnout and turnover. The investigators will pilot the Playbook with 1:1 virtual leadership coaching to inspire nurse managers to improve their team culture. The investigators will conduct a mixed methods process evaluation to inform a pragmatic adaptive effectiveness trial. The investigators expect this study to demonstrate the Playbook combined with coaching is a feasible and acceptable approach to create supportive learning environments that improve employee well-being and address factors contributing to employee burnout and turnover.
Cancer is a disease that causes the most deaths worldwide and is challenging for patients and caregivers both physically and psychosocially. Physicians and nurses working in oncology clinics perform a demanding profession providing compassionate care and treatment to patients struggling with life-threatening diseases. The emotional cost of caring for patients diagnosed with cancer can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and decreased psychological well-being among healthcare professionals. For this reason, this research is planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of Mindfulness meditation practice on compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological well-being in physicians and nurses working in oncology units.
This study aims to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on nurses' life satisfaction, comfort and burnout levels. Data will be collected by using Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Nurse Comfort Scale and Burnout Scale. The nurses in the intervention group will be asked to perform relaxation exercises. The nurses in the control group will not receive any intervention.
It is common knowledge that music has a positive impact on human well-being. It is also well-known that medical residents are frequently stressed and burnt out. With these two thoughts in mind, the investigators want to explore how participating in a musical engagement program may positively impact medical resident well-being. The investigators hope to do this by hosting four informal musical engagement sessions with medical residents, which will involve playing instruments, improvising, and reading sheet music. To study the impact that this program has on participants, investigators will ask participants to complete a survey. The investigators hope to find that participants are positively impacted by participation in the study, in terms of factors like stress reduction and minimized burnout symptoms. Hopefully, the study results may inform residency program curriculum designers in the future may incorporate music into wellness programming.
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.
: Responsibility of women staying in their traditional and modern roles has increased and the difficulties experienced by women require them to struggle with many problems. As a result of these experiences, problems have arisen for women. In addition to the intensity of the home/work life of women who have children in primary school, the lesson and responsibility of the child falls on the women. In a patriarchal society, burdening all non-working women with the responsibility of their child in addition to housework increases the fatigue of mothers. Due to this intensity, they are not able to spare time for themselves and feel guilty. In women, this situation gradually causes burnout syndrome. One of the most important personal development methods used to reduce burnout is laughter therapy. The aim of this study is to apply laughter therapy in order to reduce this sense of burnout and guilt in women. Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of laughter therapy on the feelings of burnout and guilt of women who have children at primary school age.
A reliable method for monitoring sleep, stress, and burnout among cardiology fellows is critically needed. To address this gap, our team aims to utilize the cost-effective WHOOP strap 4.0 wearable device to continuously capture stress-relevant physiologic data (i.e., sleep hours, heart rate variability, respiration rate, resting heart rate) among up to 21 Cardiology Fellows Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for 6 months.
Comparing the emotional effect of two different versions of one VR experience. The VR experience will simulate a typical return to work situation after an absence due to burnout. The difference of the VR scenario is the point of view. In the first version, the 'standard' version, the user is looking at the VR experience from a neutral point of view, as if s/he was watching a 2D screen. In the second version, the 'embodiment' version, a VR features is added to have the user feeling incarnated in a digital human. This will enhance the feeling of being present in the virtual world and will enhance the emotional answer. The measured endpoint will be the evoked emotions, in particular stress.
