Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to pilot a new training which aims to foster resilience to some of the clinical and workload pressures that nurses encounter on a daily basis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background:

Many nurses are exposed to challenges in their clinical setting on a daily basis, which often results in them experiencing stress, burnout and decreased satisfaction with their work; this can have a long term impact on the recruitment and retention rate of these nurses. This stress has intensified over the last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The online training being piloted in this trial has been adapted from a recent face-to-face resilience enhancement programme developed for nurses in the UK. By creating an online training, it is hoped that this intervention will be accessible to more nurses, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives:

The purpose of this trial is to understand whether the online training can improve levels of resilience, psychological, and wellbeing, and whether or not it has changed the way nurses experience in their work environment.

Methods:

All registered nurses working at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust during the COVID-19 pandemic will be invited. We intend to recruit 100 nurses who are currently working at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust to participate in the pilot study. Recruited nurses will be randomised to the intervention group or the control group. Nurses who are randomised to the intervention group will be invited to do the online training over a four week period. There will be the opportunity to participate in four 2 hour online facilitated sessions during the four-week training period. Nurses will also be asked to complete 30 minutes of independent pre-work ahead of each of the facilitated sessions. The sessions will cover a range of topics and will tackle areas such as building hardiness and maintaining a positive outlook; emotional intelligence and intellectual flexibility; reflective and critical thinking; enabling spirituality and achieving work-life balance. The training also involves twice weekly mentorship sessions ranging between 30 and 60 minutes.

Nurses will be invited to complete two surveys (pre- and post- intervention) which will be used to evaluate the trial outcomes and feedback on training. On completion of the post-intervention survey, nurses will receive a certificate for 10 hours of CPD. Nurses randomised to the control group will only be invited to take part in the pre- and post- intervention surveys, but will not use the online training. However, after completing the survey, nurses will be given the opportunity to complete the pre-work and access the online facilitated sessions so they can receive their CPD certificate.

Implications:

Once the training has been piloted, the effectiveness of the online training will be evaluated at national level.

Online REsOluTioN training

The active comparator arm will receive access to online REsOluTioN training to enhance resilience.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

REsOluTioN (Resilience Enhancement Online Training for Nurses)

Intervention Type OTHER

The online REsOluTioN training involves virtual or face-to-face mentorship sessions and facilitated online interactive group sessions on four topics (Building hardiness and maintaining a positive outlook, Intellectual flexibility and Emotional Intelligence; Achieving life balance and enabling spirituality and Reflective and critical thinking). The training will be of four-week duration. Over the four-week period, the training will comprise 4x120 minute facilitated online group sessions; 4x30 minute independent learning activities; and eight 3:1 online mentoring sessions delivered between 30 and 60 minutes at flexible timings.

Control

The control arm will have no access to the online training.

Group Type OTHER

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

Nurses randomised to the control group will only be invited to take part in the pre- and post- intervention surveys, but will not use the online training. However, after completing the survey, nurses will be given the opportunity to complete the pre-work and access the facilitated sessions of the training so that they can receive their CPD certificate.
