Burnout and stress among HCWs have been well documented, but with little research on the efficacy of methods to address it -- PRISM might be the solution.
Hospital workers, both those who work directly with patients and those behind the scenes, have faced enormous challenges during the pandemic, leading to significant mental health burdens, including increased stress, anxiety, and burnout. While these problems have been well documented, there has been little research on the efficacy of methods to address them.
Participants were divided into 15 classes with eight to 12 people in each. Feasibility was defined as 70% completion among the enrolled participants. Of the 153 who completed the baseline survey, 145 attended the first session. Of those, 78% completed five or six of the six total sessions. Follow-up surveys were completed by 91% of the participants, and 64% answered open-ended questions.
Baseline scores of resilience increased by a mean of 1.74 points, stress decreased by a mean of 2.4 points, anxiety was down by 2.04, and burnout/exhaustion dropped by 0.37, a slight improvement post-PRISM. This study showed that programs such as PRISM at Work are feasible, acceptable, and could potentially be effective in addressing such issues. However, the authors also warn that efforts must come from both healthcare workers themselves and the healthcare organizations they are a part of.
