Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Burnout syndrome is an important health problem that affects many professionals and must be addressed globally, with both organizational measures and personal interventions. Burnout of health professionals can be prevented in order to avoid personal, familial, and social consequences, as well as repercussions for patients.

Methods/Design: This work describes a protocol for a controlled, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial in 2 parallel groups: intervention and control. All health professionals from 7 health care centers (HCCs) will form the intervention group, and all health professionals from 7 different HCCs will form the control group. The intervention group will receive 16 hours of training at their work place. The Maslach's burnout inventory (MBI), burnout physician Questionnaire (CDPM) or burnout nurse Questionnaire (CDPE), and the 28-item Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), validated for our setting, will be used as measurement tools. Change in the average scores from the MBI emotional exhaustion scale will be compared between the intervention and control groups, measured as intention-to-treat, and the intervention will be considered effective if a minimum increase of 20% is achieved.

Discussion: Due to the deleterious consequences of burnout syndrome for people suffering from it and for the organization where they work, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of certain interventions for its prevention. Organizational measures are important for preventing burnout syndrome, but so is providing professionals with coping strategies, as this group intervention intends to do.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

The intervention consists of 16 hours of training, to be held at the subject's health center. The workshop involves mixed learning, comprising 4 sessions, each 2 hours long, in addition to personal work previous to and after each session of reading relevant bibliography and performing exercises, self-evaluation, and case studies (8 hours of individual work).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The objective of the intervention is learning from the work experience of professionals attending the workshop to know and recognize the risk and process of the burnout syndrome and the characteristics specific to the health setting, as well as promoting prevention lines by transmitting strategies to manage and control the elements and consequences of the syndrome process (physical, psychological, and social).

Control group

Usual care

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
