Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of music intervention in relieving burnout among nurses. Burnout is a condition of deceased job performance resulting from increased stress in the workplace.This study is to attempt to examine whether music therapy would decrease burnout symptoms and whether there would be a greater decrease of burnout in the music intervention group than the non-music intervention group. In this randomized controlled trial study, we will be using a convenience sample of nurses from Emergency room, medical unit, surgical unit, pediatric, ICU, labor and delivery at the Majuro hospital. Participant will be met for three session each week for a five week period. The participant will be divided into an experimental group (group A) using a music relaxation intervention and control group (group B) with usual care. The study will used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with a pretest/post-test design measuring burnout at the beginning before the first session starts and at the end of the last session ends. We hypothesized that clinical nurses who will received music intervention will experience reduction in burnout compared with those in control group will not.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Burnout

  Burnout will be measured using Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire scale, 22 items subscales of the 3 domain show high consistency with Cronbach's α coefficient values of 0.837, 0.869, and 0.881 and test-retest reliability was high ( p\<0.001 ). At baseline, we will collect data regarding burnout level, depression, anxiety, stress and demographic characteristic ( i.e, age, gender, marital status, and having children ect. ) that have been demonstrated to be associated with nurse burnout. The outcome indicators will be collected at 5 weeks after the completion of the intervention. Respondents in the waiting-list control group will complete self-report measures at the same time points as those in the music intervention group.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The participants and treatment provider are aware of group assignment due to the nature of biobehavioral intervention. A single-blinded design will be adopted because outcome assessors will be blinded to the group allocation and interventions employed in the two groups. The outcome assessors will not be allowed to disclose participant grouping or to discuss the details of participants. The researcher will not discuss participant-related research data with the outcome assessors.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Associate Professor

Model Details: This will be a randomized controlled trial with single-blinded, two-arm parallel study. Data will be collected between August to December 2020. A structured questionnaire will be used to collect data on demographics, burnout, depression, stress, and anxiety. We will enroll nurses from the General units of Leroj Atama Memorial Hospital in Majuro, Marshall Islands. The invitation to participate will be communicated by the Chief Nursing Officer and baseline assessment will be given by a trained study interviewer for participant recruitment
