Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Occupational burnout measured using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) at baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 6 months’ follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Eudaimonic and hedonic mental wellbeing measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) at baseline (week 0), week 8, week 16 and week 40 (after 6 months) 2. Sickness absence days taken, self-reported via online survey during the active study and observation period at week 8, 16 and 6 months 3. Intervention completion/dropout rates: attendance measured using a register for each session and calculated at week 8 and week 16 for groups 1 and 2, respectively. If the participants do not complete all of the measures (point 1) they will also be classed as a dropout, so this will be measured at these points
