CCSH (Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health) for Teams

Description

Current interventions to reduce provider burnout are only minimally effective. To overcome the barriers to achieving success in burnout prevention interventions, the investigators propose Compassion Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI), a 4-session intervention delivered by healthcare chaplains to mixed-role interprofessional teams that includes mindfulness and compassion-based approaches to bolster resilience, compassion for self and others, and psychological safety. The research team will conduct a mixed-method feasibility and acceptability study of CCSH-TI with mixed-role oncology teams. Employees (n = 80; nurses, advanced practice providers (APPs), physicians, staff) working at an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center will be randomized by team (8-12 employees/group) to CCSH-TI or to TAU (Treatment as Usual) group, who has access to all well-being resources and activities available to them as employees. Self-report surveys and focus group discussions will be used to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CCSH-TI. The investigators will also collect self-report surveys, ecological momentary assessments (EMA), and the electronically activated recorder (EAR) data at 3 timepoints (before CCSH-TI (T1), immediately after completion of CCSH-TI (T2), and 12-weeks after completion (LT), and characterize data completion to evaluate the feasibility of data collection methods for a future randomized control trial. Informed consent will be obtained from study participants in-person. The duration of the study will be 22-23 weeks (from consent to completion of data collection).
