Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Completion Time-Feasibility
Time Frame: 1 year
The activity is completed by the group in 40 minutes or less-Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluatedby individual group completions times and overall analysis of descriptive statistics on the time for completion of the activity by all groups.
Percentage of Participation-Feasibility
Time Frame: 1 year
≥50% of staff choose to participate=Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluated by calculating index scores of the percentage of clinical staff who choose to participate
Percentage Completion of Full Activity-Feasibility
Time Frame: 1 year
\> 80% of those who participate complete the activity=Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluated by index scores of the percentage of clinical staff who complete the full activity
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Anxiety Score(1 Year)
