Brief Summary

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

Background Given that the challenges in adjusting to shifting work, physical workload and high-strung nature, healthcare workers often encounter high stress, emotional exhaustion, low empathy, fatigue and burnout, which, in turn, result in sickness, absence, and high turnover. Hence, building resilience for future adversity among healthcare workers in the workplace is necessary.

Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of the Building Resilience at Work (BRAW) on resilience, job engagement, intention to leave, employability, and work performance To explore healthcare workers' experience of the BRAW intervention.

Methods This study will evaluate the effectiveness of BRAW using a sequential mixed methods design in two phases. In phase I, a two-armed randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare resilience, work engagement, coping skills, job satisfaction and life satisfaction with a waiting list control condition among 410 healthcare workers.

In phase II, the investigators will conduct a virtual individual interview to explore experiences on usability and acceptability after receiving the BRAW intervention using a sample of 33 healthcare workers.

Significance of research Considering the multifactorial and complexity of resilience at work in an increasingly dynamic healthcare environment, the content of resilience training can promote resilience, work engagement, coping skills, job satisfaction and life satisfaction among healthcare workers in order to reduce the turnover rate among healthcare workers in Singapore.

Caregivers Outcome Assessors
Research assistants and participants will be blinded to the conditions until baseline assessments (referring to the set of questionnaires they have to complete before starting the training) are completed, at which time a random number sequence in a excel file will be opened to reveal whether they will be in the intervention or waitlist condition. Participants will not be explicitly told of participants' study condition; however, they need to participate in the intervention, so full blinding is not possible

Study Groups

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