主要结局
Changes level of Burnout
时间窗: Week 8 and Week 16
To assess the beneficial impact of Heartfulness program on improving burnout levels through Maslach Burnout Toolkit Scale which included Maslach Burnout Inventory for healthcare professionals (MBI-HSS) and Areas of Worklife (AWS). The MBI-HSS comprised 22 questions across 3 subscales; Emotional Exhaustion (EE)-9 questions, Depersonalization (DP)-5 questions, and self-perceived lack of Personal Accomplishment (PA)-8 questions. Responses were scored on a six-point Likert scale (ranging from 0 = never to 6 = everyday) for each subscale, and tabulated into three tiers (low, moderate or high) based on the reference ranges provided with the MBI-HSS. The higher the score the worse the burnout levels. The AWS is a 28 item questionnaire subdivided into six areas with a response scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Higher the score in a sub-area shows a better area in work life.
