Abstract

Background

A healthy, competent, and compassionate health care workforce is critical to ensure that health systems can deliver high-quality, safe patient care. Therefore, health care personnel need access to scalable, recurring, evidence-based training opportunities to bolster compassion, mitigate burnout, and enhance resiliency, ultimately improving their professional quality of life. This evaluation examined the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of workplace-based well-being training opportunities offered by Atlanta’s Resiliency Resource for frontline Workers (ARROW) program across two health systems.

Methods

ARROW formed through an academic practice partnership designed to introduce health care personnel to evidence-based mindfulness and compassion-based training opportunities: the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT). Trainees provided evaluation feedback immediately before, two weeks after, and three months after attending a CRM or CBCT event. The Short Professional Quality of Life Scale assessed compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction; the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale assessed resiliency.

Results

ARROW hosted 59 training events that directly trained 761 health care personnel. Trainees’ compassion fatigue scores, a key component of professional quality of life, decreased up to three months after engaging in programming by 0.32 points (p = 0.005, d = -0.14). Trainees who attended CBCT events were observed to have additional declines in compassion fatigue scores, by 0.45 points (p = 0.016, d = -0.215). No differences in burnout, compassion satisfaction, or resiliency were observed. ARROW mentored 68 health care personnel to become either CRM– or CBCT–certified instructors using a train-the-trainer approach. New trainers continued to offer well-being training opportunities and reached an additional 772 colleagues.

Conclusion

The findings from this evaluation indicate the broad reach and sustained impact ARROW had across health systems, engaging health care personnel in workplace well-being programming to bolster professional quality of life. Specifically, improvements in compassion fatigue scores following program participation corresponded to a small effect size; however, no changes in burnout, compassion satisfaction, or resiliency were seen after engaging in ARROW programming.
工作场所幸福感计划对医护人员职业生活质量的影响。
背景:一支健康、称职和富有同情心的卫生保健队伍对于确保卫生系统能够提供高质量、安全的患者护理至关重要。因此,卫生保健人员需要获得可扩展的、经常性的、以证据为基础的培训机会,以增强同情心,减轻倦怠,增强弹性,最终提高他们的职业生活质量。该评估检查了亚特兰大一线工作者弹性资源(ARROW)项目在两个卫生系统中提供的基于工作场所的福祉培训机会的范围、有效性、采用、实施和维护。方法:ARROW通过学术实践合作伙伴关系成立,旨在向卫生保健人员介绍基于证据的正念和同情心培训机会:社区弹性模型(CRM)和基于认知的同情心培训(CBCT)。学员在参加CRM或CBCT活动前、两周后和三个月后立即提供评估反馈。短期职业生活质量量表评估同情疲劳、倦怠和同情满意度;康纳-戴维森复原力量表评估复原力。结果:ARROW举办了59场培训活动,直接培训了761名卫生保健人员。作为职业生活质量的关键组成部分,受训人员的同情疲劳得分在参与编程三个月后下降了0.32分(p = 0.005, d = -0.14)。参加CBCT活动的受训者在同情疲劳得分上又下降了0.45分(p = 0.016, d = -0.215)。在倦怠、同情满意度或恢复力方面没有观察到差异。ARROW采用培训培训师的方法指导了68名医疗保健人员成为CRM或cbct认证的讲师。新的培训师继续提供福利培训机会,并培训了另外772名同事。结论:本次评估的结果表明,ARROW在整个卫生系统中具有广泛的影响和持续的影响,使卫生保健人员参与工作场所福祉规划,以提高职业生活质量。具体而言,参与项目后同情疲劳得分的改善对应于一个小的效应量;然而,参与ARROW编程后,倦怠、同情满意度和弹性没有变化。
