Summary

This trial will assess the effectiveness of an online psychological well-being intervention (PARK) in reducing stress and associated-burnout, absenteeism, and intentions to leave the workforce in a subset of 750 persons who have been participating in a study of healthcare workers at Northwestern Medicine (NM) since Spring 2020.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthcare workers over 18 at Northwestern Medicine who are part of the NM HCW Serology Study and consent to participate. It includes pregnant women and all employees, except those no longer working at Northwestern Medicine.
What is being tested?
The PARK (Positive Affect Regulation sKills) online intervention is being tested to see if it can reduce stress, burnout, absenteeism, and intentions to leave among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What are the potential side effects?
Since PARK is a psychological well-being intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects like with medication are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or fatigue.

Group I: PARK NowExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
6-Week Self-Guided Program: PARK Positive Emotion Skills: The skills will be delivered over approximately 6 weeks, and individuals can participate from any device and location with internet access. A week will consist of 1-2 days of didactic material and 5-6 days of real-life skills practice and reporting. The maximum amount of time engaged in the PARK program for any participant is 5 hours over the 6-week period, plus completion of the REDCap surveys assessments (burnout, well-being, health behaviors). The intervention will focus on developing the following skills that will be supplemented by home practice: (1) positive events, capitalizing, gratitude; (2) mindfulness; (3) positive reappraisal; (4) personal strength and achievable goals; (5) and self-compassion. PARK is delivered through the BrightOutcome online platform.
