Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Burnout
Time Frame: Four time points (week 1 and 6 of intervention, and 3 & 6 month post intervention)
1. Differences in Burnout scale between time points The Burnout Scale has been validated by Trockel et al. (2018).It is composed of two subscales (emotional exhaustion containing 4 questions and interpersonal disengagement containing 6 questions.) Both scales are scored on a Likert scale of 0 to 4 ("not at all" to "extremely"). For total Burnout score, the scores of the combined scale (10 total) are averaged. The higher scores indicate higher levels of overall burnout. Individual subscale means will also be computed (with higher scores indicating higher amounts of emotional exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement. Difference in overall burnout measured at four time points (week 1 and 6 of the intervention and 3 \& 6 months post intervention) will be reported and compared. The composite scales take approximately 2 minutes to complete.
