The Work and Well-being Survey (UWES)© Engagement Scale
Time Frame: change from baseline engagement measure at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years.

Advanced Practice Provider Well-being Index
Time Frame: change from baseline well-being measure at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years.
measures the increased probability of distress risk for personal or professional consequences. Minimum value =0 and maximum value =7. Mean and standard deviation is computed and compared to normative data.
The Brief Resilience Scale
Time Frame: change from baseline in resilience measure at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years.
The Brief Resilience Scale developed by Smith et al. (2008) is used to measure resilience. Minimum value =6 and maximum value = 30; mean value is used to determine scoring with higher value indicating more resilience.
Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory; The Social Readjustment Rating Scale
Time Frame: change from baseline stress measure at 1 year and 2 years.
The Holmes-Rahe Scale is used to life changes that may impact stress. Minimum values =150 pts or less; maximum values = 300 pts. or more; higher scores indicate higher susceptibility to stress-induced health problems.
