Resilience Education for Health-Care Professionals
Background:
Burnout 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.
Objective:
The goal of this project was to evaluate a resilience education program to improve measures of burnout and resilience in health-care professionals.
Design:
A quantitative cross-sectional pretest/posttest design was used.
Setting:
The resilience education program was implemented in a large, not-for-profit health-care system in the southeastern United States.
Methods:
Participants 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.
Results:
Scores 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.
Conclusion:
A 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.
