Brief summary
This research seeks to conduct a pilot Randomised control trial to determine the feasibility and acceptability of two evidence-based models of individual-focused interventions aimed at improving wellbeing and decreasing burnout amongst critical care healthcare professionals. The project aims to conduct a feasibility and acceptability study of two interventions: Combined Individualized Management Plan (IMP) and Problem-Solving Peer debrief, compared to only Peer Debrief. Models of these interventions have been thoroughly investigated in an umbrella review and expert opinion and designed specifically for critical care healthcare professionals.
Interventions
Participants in the intervention group are required to attend an Individual Management Plan (IMP) and peer debrief session. The IMP is a once-off one-to-one consult with a clinical psychologist to collect information such as lifestyle behaviours and mental health assessments to provide immediate and simple management strategies (i.e. recommendations for positive sleeping habits, stress management techniques) within the session as usual practice and record as a case file. This should take no long
Participants in the intervention group are required to attend an Individual Management Plan (IMP) and peer debrief session. The IMP is a once-off one-to-one consult with a clinical psychologist to collect information such as lifestyle behaviours and mental health assessments to provide immediate and simple management strategies (i.e. recommendations for positive sleeping habits, stress management techniques) within the session as usual practice and record as a case file. This should take no longer than 30 minutes per participant consult. After participants complete the IMP, they will need to complete weekly debrief sessions for six weeks. It includes a semi-structured, group-based, virtual, informal, problem-solving-based peer debrief session. The debrief session is a focus group conversation. The peer debrief sessions aim to encourage social interactions and engagement between participants rather than to achieve structured debriefing objectives. The peer debrief will also incorporate the theory of social problem-solving. This includes guidance from the Clinical Psychologist/Clinical Psychologist Students and peers (other participants in the debrief group) to contribute guidance and techniques to attend to the voiced problem/stressor. Adherence to IMP and debrief sessions will be monitored by the research team - where attendance will be done before the session. Participants that do not attend their respective sessions will be contacted by the research team to determine why they did not attend and if required, to reschedule into another IMP availability or another debrief session during the week.
