Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of a Daily Brief Exercise Intervention on Resident Physician Personal Resiliency and Burnout (NCT NCT03489720)

NCT ID: NCT03489720

Last Updated: 2020-04-14

Results Overview

The change in the Emotional Exhaustion (EE) burnout score(as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)from baseline to end of each exercise phase. MBI-HSS is a survey to measure burnout in professionals in human services. MBI-HSS EE score includes 9 items to evaluate emotional exhaustion (EE), with scores ranging from 0 to 6 on the Likert scale. MBI-HSS EE total score ranges from 0 to 54 points. We consider a high degree of burnout in the case of EE ≥ 27 points. Moderate burnout will be considered in the case of 26\<EE\<19 points. Low levels will be considered for EE≤18 points.
