Trial Outcomes & Findings for Certified Nursing Assistants' Wellbeing (NCT NCT03720652)

NCT ID: NCT03720652

Last Updated: 2021-04-29

Results Overview

The researchers will assess intent to leave job by asking "How likely is it that you will leave this job in the next year? "Would you say... 1 is Not at All Likely, 2 is Somewhat Likely, 3 is Very Likely." Minimum = 1 (best value), maximum = 3 (worst value). For the primary outcome analysis, intent will be evaluated by totaling the count of participants who responded "Somewhat Likely", "Very likely", or "Not at all likely." This was collected over the course of four time frames: Baseline, End-of Intervention interview, 3-Month Follow Up Interview, and 6-Month Follow Up Interview.

Participant Flow

Participants from all three nursing homes were recruited between March of 2019 and October of 2019. Participants from Nursing Home 1 were recruited in March/April 2019 and participants from Nursing Homes 2 \& 3 were recruited in September/October of 2019. Recruitment took place on-site at each nursing home, during staff meetings and shift changes.

8-Week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
CNAs in Aim 1 will participate in the standardized, 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion course. Each 8-week session will last for 2.5 hours. 8-Week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC): The 8-week MSC is a course of eight 2.5 hour weekly sessions that is based off self-compassion, a construct closely related to mindfulness. Self-compassion (SC) has three main interrelated components: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. MSC is an 8-session program that integrates SC and mindfulness. It includes the following components: * Discovering Mindful Self-Compassion * Practicing Mindfulness * Practicing Lovingkindness * Discovering your Compassionate Voice * Living Deeply * Meeting Difficult Emotions * Exploring Challenging Relationships * Embracing Your Life
6-Week Mindful Self Compassion (MSC)
CNAs from both nursing homes in Aim 2 will participate in the 6-week Mindful Self-Compassion course, that was shortened and customized to fit the needs of health care staff. Each 6-week session will last for 1 hour. 6-Week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC): The 6-week MSC is a course of six 1 hour weekly sessions that is based off self-compassion, a construct closely related to mindfulness. Self-compassion (SC) has three main interrelated components: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. MSC is an 6-session program that integrates SC and mindfulness. It includes the following components: * What is Self-Compassion * Practicing Self-Compassion * Discovering your Compassionate Voice * Self-Compassion and Resilience * Self-Compassion and Burnout * Going Forward This program is a shortened version of the 8-week program, specifically created for the needs of health care staff.

Burnout will be assessed via a modified Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) - Depersonalization Subscale (one of three subscales within the MBI), a 5-item scale. Items are measured on a 7-point Likert scale that asks how often respondents are feeling certain feelings. Minimum score (best value, never) = 0. Maximum score (worst value, every day) = 6. Analysis reports mean score rather than total score; range of the mean score is 0 to 6, with lower values representing better outcomes. Measure was assessed at Baseline, at an End-of-Intervention Interview, a 3-month Follow Up Interview and at a 6-month Follow Up Interview.

The researchers will collect pre-post measures using the Self-compassion scale-short form (SCS-SF), a 12-item scale that includes the three components of self-compassion: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. This is done using a 5-point Likert scale. Minimum score = 1 (worst value). Maximum score = 5 (best value). Analysis reports mean score rather than total score (total range is 0.0 to 5.0), with higher values indicating better outcomes.

Analysis reports mean score rather than total score (total range is 0.0 to 5.0). Measure was assessed at Baseline, at an End-of-Intervention Interview, a 3-month Follow Up Interview and at a 6-month Follow Up Interview.
