Popis: BackgroundBurnout among health-care professionals is a growing problem having a sizeable impact on patient safety and health care as a whole. High levels of resilience in health-care professionals have been associated with safer care environments, improved health outcomes, higher quality care, and improved caregiver well-being and mental health. Resilience education can improve personal and professional resilience.ObjectiveThe goal of this project was to evaluate a resilience education program to improve measures of burnout and resilience in health-care professionals.DesignA quantitative cross-sectional pretest/posttest design was used.SettingThe resilience education program was implemented in a large, not-for-profit health-care system in the southeastern United States.MethodsParticipants completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25) immediately before the workshop and 2 weeks afterward. Participants also completed an evaluation survey one day after the education.ResultsScores on the CD-RISC-25 showed statistically significant increases in resilience qualities after the education. Although not statistically significant, burnout as measure by CBI scores decreased following the workshop.ConclusionA relatively short educational program can positively impact resilience and burnout levels in health-care professionals. Positive outcomes included successful learning outcomes and increased resilience qualities.
