AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved staff from 29 oncology wards to assess a team-based burnout intervention program that included a support group and participatory action research.
- Nine wards were randomly chosen to participate, and staff completed a questionnaire measuring their work situation and well-being at three different times: before, immediately after, and six months post-intervention.
- Results showed that staff in the experimental wards reported lower emotional exhaustion and depersonalization compared to control wards, and the improvement in burnout levels was linked to changes in how they perceived their job characteristics over time.
Article Abstract
In this quasi-experimental study among staff of 29 oncology wards, the authors evaluated the effects of a team-based burnout intervention program combining a staff support group with a participatory action research approach. Nine wards were randomly selected to participate in the program. Before the program started (Time 1), directly after the program ended (Time 2), and 6 months later (Time 3), study participants filled out a questionnaire on their work situation and well-being. Results of multilevel analyses showed that staff in the experimental wards experienced significantly less emotional exhaustion at both Time 2 and Time 3 and less depersonalization at Time 2, compared with the control wards. Moreover, changes in burnout levels were significantly related to changes in the perception of job characteristics over time.
