... OLBI scores are presented in Figure 2, 95% confidence intervals, and between-groups effect sizes at each measurement point. Throughout the course of the study, both groups showed a trend of reduction in mean burnout levels over time, although group 1 had significantly lower mean burnout levels at 8-weeks follow-up (-3.19 [95% CI À4.36 to À2.02], p < .001), ...

... For example, the Mind Management Skills for Life Programme (an 8-week programme with one 90-min session per week) improved mental wellbeing by, on average, 3.71 points relative to a waitlist control group and reduced average burnout scores with a medium between-groups effect size (d = 0.60). 15 Furthermore, programmes focused on resiliency training 16,17 can improve mental wellbeing amongst HCPs 16,17 : for example, although mental wellbeing improved in a control group over a three-month period with a small effect size (d = 0.25), by contrast the experimental group (who received a single one-shot ...
Healthcare professionals (HCPs) experienced prolonged stressful conditions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and the global situation (particularly in the United Kingdom) meant that they continue to sustain mental stress related to the subsequent cost-of-living and healthcare budgeting crises. The psychological toll on HCPs may lead to increased staff attrition, adversely impacting the quality of patient care and work security. To help mitigate this psychological impact, the current evidence is strongly supportive of healthcare providers consistently adopting programmes fostering improvement in coping and resilience, facilitating healthy lifestyle, and allocating some resources for therapeutic strategies (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy-based strategies and other strategies specified to trauma-related issues) which can be delivered by trained professionals. We stress that some approaches are not a one-size-fits-all strategy, and we also highlight the need to encourage treatment-seeking among those who need it. These strategies are highly relevant to healthcare employers and policymakers to support all HCPs in settings marked by prolonged periods of stress. The investment in these strategies are expected not only to reduce staff attrition in the long-term, but are likely to add to the cost-effectiveness of overall healthcare budgetary allocation.
