Abstract

Objective: Burnout in healthcare professionals (HCPs) is a pressing issue in healthcare. We report the long-term impact of our previous creative arts therapy (CAT) intervention for reducing psychological distress in HCPs.

Methods: Healthcare professionals were randomized to CAT intervention or control group. The CAT group completed surveys evaluating symptoms of psychological distress at 4 months, 8 months, and 1 year postintervention, whereas the control group completed surveys at the 1-year mark.

Results: The CAT group demonstrated sustained improvement in distress scores for anxiety, depression, and affect at 4 and 8 months postintervention. At the 12-month mark, the CAT group exhibited improvements in anxiety, depression, and affect compared with the control group.

Conclusion: Creative arts therapy has lasting benefits for HCPs. Long-term follow-ups are crucial for assessing sustainability, and further investigation should focus on disseminating and implementing CAT programs for HCPs.

医疗保健专业人员的创造性艺术治疗与心理困扰的长期改善有关。

目的:卫生保健专业人员的职业倦怠是一个亟待解决的问题。我们报告了我们以前的创造性艺术疗法(CAT)干预对减少hcp心理困扰的长期影响。方法:将医护人员随机分为CAT干预组和对照组。CAT组在干预后4个月、8个月和1年完成评估心理困扰症状的调查，而对照组在干预后1年完成调查。结果:CAT组在干预后4个月和8个月表现出焦虑、抑郁和影响的困扰评分持续改善。在12个月的时间里，与对照组相比，CAT组在焦虑、抑郁和情感方面表现出改善。结论:创造性艺术疗法对HCPs有持久的疗效。长期随访对于评估可持续性至关重要，进一步的调查应侧重于传播和实施卫生保健提供者的CAT方案。
