Brief Summary

This study aims to address the reliability and validity of the Empowerment for Participation (EFP) batch of assessments to measure Burnout risk in relation to the efficacy of online interventions to provide proactive rehabilitation using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and floating to achieve improved mental health and wellbeing.

Conditions

Burnout; Risk Reduction; Cognitive Change

Keywords

Prevention; Mental Health; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Interactive Online Therapy; TeleHealth

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To measure the difference between a pre- and post-assessment score for Burnout in a Control Group versus a Therapy Group.

  The Burnout measure (30 questions) is obtained from the Empowerment for Participation (EFP) batch of assessments using Visual Analog Scales (VAS) online. A straight line with a beginning and end point. As the slider moves from left to right, the text positioned at either end of the line increases as the opposite end decreases. The position where the slider stops is represented by a number from 0-20. The risk assessment scale (0-600) determines the level of intervention and preventive care. There are five risk levels of Burnout in relation to the total score following a lineal guide: 0-99 points (M=0-3.300) = No evidence of Burnout, 100-199 points (M=3.333-6.6333) = Low risk for Burnout, 200-299 points (M=6.6667-9.9667) = Moderate risk for Burnout, 300-399 points (M=10.00-13.300) = High risk for Burnout, and 400-600 points (M=13.3333-20) = Burnout. Patient content validation and score accuracy is required after each assessment.

  From admission to discharge, up to 3 months.

Study Arms (2)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The group received online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy via the My-E-Health. Patients were issued a preTest psychometric assessment and a post therapy assessment using the Burnout Psychometrics provided within the My-E-Health's online ecosystem. All patients were required to validate the accuracy of the assessments during a follow-up of their results.

Diagnostic Test: EFP Psychometric assessment to determine level of afflication

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The Control Group received no online therapy. Patients were issued a preTest psychometric assessment and a post therapy assessment using the Burnout Psychometrics provided within the My-E-Health's online ecosystem. All patients were required to validate the accuracy of the assessments during a follow-up of their results.

Interventions

EFP Psychometric assessment to determine level of afflication DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients were asked to complete a psychometric assessment in relation to their psychological wellbeing. Results were presented to the patient and validdated by the patient.
