Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Burnout Assessment Tool

  Burnout Assessment Tool is a validated measure which evaluates to what extend people experience burnout in work place. The scale is a 5-point Likert type, meaning "1 = Never" to "5 = Always" (minimum:34 to maxiumum:150). Higher scores from the scale represent higher burnout. Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted and Cronbach's alpha value was stated as 0.95.

  At baseline and after 8 weeks

• Valued Living Questionnaire

  Valued Living Questionnaire is a validated measure and its aim is to evaluate valued living. The scale consists of 10 items with a 7-point Likert type as 0 = Not at all true and 6 = Completely true (minimum:0; maxiumum:60). The scale, for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted, has two sub-dimensions: "progress" and "blockage". While the progress subscale expresses that the person takes action in line with his values, the blockage dimension means that the person avoids certain experiences and moves away from a value-oriented life. The Cronbach's alpha value of the Turkish version of the scale was found to be 0.78; as for the progress sub-dimension was 0.77, and for the blockage dimension was 0.76.

  At baseline and after 8 weeks
