简要总结
For this project the broad research objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an enhanced digital wellbeing program in improving well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians. The intent of the investigators is that this will enable a proactive culture of well-being and mental health support for the broader healthcare workforce during the multiple phases of the pandemic.
The investigator's approach evaluates existing digital models which can be executed in a timely fashion and rapidly scaled for use across other health systems.
Aim 1: Conduct interviews of URM and women physicians to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing and receiving digital well-being, mental health, and culturally sensitive support resources.
Aim 2: Through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate the immediate and long-term effect of a comprehensive well-being focused intervention (push text messaging, resource support, semi-facilitated peer groups hosted by Cobalt) vs. usual care on well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians practicing in the era of COVID.

研究组 & 干预措施
Usual Care
Participants will be asked to complete an ICF and baseline survey at enrollment. They will be given survey assessments at 0, 18 and 30 months. Survey assessments will include validated measures on well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians.
The control group will have access to usual care well-being resources at Penn Medicine. These include links, classes, groups, social media sites such as Penn Cobalt which require self-awareness to find the resources and access them. In this context, the individual has to "pull" the resources they need and there may be several barriers to completing each step
Comprehensive Well-Being Intervention
Participants will be asked to complete an ICF and baseline survey at enrollment. Participants will complete a full assessment using validated instruments at enrollment, 18 months and 30 months (depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction). Participants will also complete the brief well-being index (WBI, nine questions) every 3 months over 30 months. The primary endpoint is assessed at 18 months. A secondary endpoint of persistence of effect is measured at 30 months.
The intervention group will receive an 18-month comprehensive suite of services including: 1) monthly automated text messaging reminders about wellbeing resources focused on a range of topics (e.g. mindfulness, stress management, childcare support, racial trauma, diversity and inclusion) and assignment to a one-hour quarterly peer support group with an expectation of regular attendance. Half of these sessions will be self-directed discussion topics and half will be facilitated discussions.

主要结局
Well-Being Index (WBI)
时间窗: at month 15
The Well-being index (WBI) is a nine-question survey validated for use in physician populations and considered important to health systems in managing the well-being of their workforce. The domains address likelihood of burnout, severe fatigue, suicidal ideation, quality of life, meaning in work, work-life integration, risk of medical error, dropout risk, and overall well-being, It is brief (approximately 5 minutes to complete), easily tracked via a mobile app, and tracked across multiple health systems in Pennsylvania and across the United States. The WBI is also currently used by our health system for assessing HCW well-being and baseline survey
