Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic necessitated social distancing, leading to increased stress and isolation among healthcare professionals.
  • Pandemic and disaster research highlights the negative impact of social isolation on medical provider well-being and resilience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess a novel peer support-based wellness program, the Happy Hour Wellness Initiative (HHWI).
  • To foster resilience and mitigate negative emotions in emergency healthcare providers during a novel disaster.

Main Methods:

  • A six-week virtual "happy hour" peer support group program was implemented in a large emergency department.
  • Participation was voluntary, with attendees joining weekly video conferencing sessions.
  • Post-program surveys collected demographic data and qualitative feedback through open-ended questions.

Main Results:

  • At the pandemic's onset, 30% of respondents felt stressed and 40% felt isolated.
  • 90% of participants reported "togetherness" as their favorite aspect of the HHWI.
  • 95% of participants desired the continuation of the HHWI, and 90% felt sad upon its conclusion.

Conclusions:

  • The HHWI effectively combatted pandemic-related stress and anxiety among emergency department staff.
  • The initiative promoted team building, camaraderie, stress relief, and cheerfulness.
  • The HHWI offers a valuable, sustainable model for promoting year-round wellness in emergency care providers.
