Overview
Brief Summary
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether positive psychology interventions via a hybrid approach will enhance well-being and resilience amongst anaesthesiologists in Hong Kong.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is app-based positive psychology intervention effective in improving well-being of physicians?
- Is app-based positive psychology intervention feasible amongst busy healthcare professionals?
Participants will be randomized to one of the two groups:
- Four-week web-based interventions
- Control group
Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the participants' benefit from the positive psychology intervention compared with not receiving it.

Primary Outcomes
Self-reported anxiety symptom
Time Frame: 4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention)
Total score of General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) (Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams, \& Löwe, 2006). This questionnaire consists of 7 items on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 = Not at all to 3 = Nearly every day. A total stress score is calculated to represent the person's anxiety symptom severity.
Self-reported psychological stress
Time Frame: 4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention)
Total stress score of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) (Cohen et al., 1983). This questionnaire consists of 10 items on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 = Never to 4 = Very Often. The scale has two subscales: perceived helplessness and lack of self-efficacy. A total stress score is calculated to represent the person's level of psychological stress.
Self-reported burnout
Time Frame: 4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention)
Overall burnout score of Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) (Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen, \& Christensen, 2005). This questionnaire consists of 19 items on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 = 0% (Never or almost never/To a very low degree) to 5 = 100% (Always/To a very high degree). The scale measures three domain of burnout: personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout. A overall burnout score is calculated to represent the person's level of burnout.

Time Frame: 4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention)
Overall well-being score of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler (Butler \& Kern, 2016). This questionnaire consists of 23 items on a 10-point Likert scale from 0 = not at all to 10 = completely. The scale measures five pillars of well-being: positive emotion (P), engagement (E), relationship (R), meaning (M), and accomplishment (A), along with filler questions measuring negative emotion (N) and health (H). A overall well-being score is calculated to represent the person's well-being.
Self-reported depression symptom
Time Frame: 4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention)
Total score of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) (Kroenke, Spitzer, \& Williams, 2001). This questionnaire consists of 9 items on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 = Not at all to 3 = Nearly every day. A total stress score is calculated to represent the person's depression symptom severity.

- Self-reported self-compassion(4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention))
- Self-reported work meaning(4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention))
- Self-reported work gratitude(4 weeks (Change from baseline to within 7 Days post-intervention))
