简要总结
Resilience means a healthcare provider's ability to cope, recover, and learn from stressful events, as well as their access to resources that promote health and well-being. Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) health professionals' need to have particularly good resilience, because their work is extremely stressful and their patients, fragile preterm infants, require their undivided attention. The investigators propose a feasible and engaging intervention to enhance resilience among NICU health professionals promoting their ability to provide safe care.
详细描述
Optimizing provider well-being is critical to the delivery of safe and high quality care to the most vulnerable of patients: very preterm babies.
Major innovative objectives of this proposal include testing the Web-based Implementation for the Science of Enhancing Resilience (WISER) program's effectiveness in enhancing resilience among Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) health workers, evaluating its effect on unit safety culture, and examining its effect on clinical outcomes in preterm infants. The WISER program is an established but low-intensity yet engaging intervention, which integrates education and behavior modification to boost provider well-being and resilience in order to create an organizational environment which prevents patient harm.
Care for the more than 50,000 very low birth weight (VLBW; < 1500 gm) infants born annually in the United States is challenging and expensive. Quality of care and outcomes vary widely. Increasing technical demands and patient acuity have pushed burnout among health workers to the breaking point. The few tested interventions that improve caregiver resilience lack feasibility for widespread adoption. This study is designed to achieve the following aims:
- Test the effectiveness of WISER in improving NICU health professional resilience;
- Test the effectiveness of WISER in improving patient safety and organizational outcomes;
- Test the sustainability of WISER; and
- Describe the barriers and facilitators of the WISER program.
The investigators will test the efficacy of the WISER Program in the NICU setting using a stepped-wedge mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (swRCT) at six tertiary care NICUs. The results of this trial will also provide insights into the causal relations between health worker resilience, the organizational environment, and clinical outcomes among infants born VLBW.

研究组 & 干预措施
Cohort 1
The intervention will begin for all NICUs, with baseline surveys as necessary pre-work. For those unable to attend, a link to the baseline survey will be emailed with site champion instructions to complete in groups at staff meetings and during shift change. Two weeks later, three randomly (random number generator) assigned NICUs (block 1) included in the first block webinar will then receive Module 1 of the intervention with Modules 2-6 being rolled out monthly. The second block of three NICUs starts approximately six-month later.

Cohort 3 (July cohort) WISER 2.0
Individually randomized to one of two cohorts. Cohort 1 to start will serve as the waitlist control 1 before starting their version of the intervention. Each cohort will experience modified versions of WISER, which only differ by the spacing of intervention. Participants will receive 10-day sequential or 10-day non-sequential rollout of the resilience tools. Seq will receive the tools on ten consecutive days. NSeq will receive messages daily noThursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Days 1 through 3 will be offered 3GT. Day 4 will continue with 3GT but add a single day activity for Gratitude. Day 5 adds a single activity for Awe. Day 6 adds a single day activity for RAK. Days 7 -10 the participant is offered the choice of Gratitude, Awe or RAK to accompany their daily 3GT. At 1 month follow-up time point, participants will receive 8 days of the 1 Good Chat tool, as a booster. At 6 month follow-up, participants will receive a gratitude exercise.

NICU health professional resilience
时间窗: 10 days, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months
Burnout (emotional exhaustion) is the primary resilience outcome. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) has been the gold standard tool in the field of burnout research. In our investigations, the Emotional Exhaustion subscale, in particular, is consistently associated with variables such as staff turnover, disruptive behavior, productivity, delays, and teamwork. When used as a "percent agree" metric, we have shown it to be a very effective indicator of emotional exhaustion at the group level for a clinical area or work setting. We will use a shortened 4-item version of this subscale from the Maslach Burnout Inventory, which we validated in the NICU setting. The response scale ranges from 1 (disagree strongly) to 5 (agree strongly). Resilience will be calculated as the percentage of NICU providers who disagree slightly or strongly with the 4 items assessing features of emotional exhaustion.
