Trial Outcomes & Findings for Estamos Juntos (We Are Together): Improving HIV Care Delivery by Capacitating Health Care Providers (NCT NCT05938621)

NCT ID: NCT05938621

Last Updated: 2025-09-22

Results Overview

We assessed burnout using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) at baseline and again at 6 months. Higher numbers indicate greater levels of burnout. We are reporting the change in burnout scores from baseline to 6 months post-intervention. The scores can range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100. We are reporting changes in scores, so some numbers are negative.

We are reporting the change in burnout scores from baseline to 6 months post-intervention. The scores can range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100.
