Implication

Pilot study reveals improved stress-coping skills but unchanged burnout scores in underserved healthcare professionals, highlighting the necessity of addressing systemic workplace stressors.

Key Points

To develop and evaluate a pilot whole-person resilience and burnout prevention curriculum for health professionals and trainees practicing in medically underserved areas.
Piloted a Train-the-Trainer curriculum comprising seven 2-hour videoconferences and one 6-hour in-person workshop among healthcare workers (n = 44) across 12 regional centers.
Evaluated outcomes using pre- and post-intervention Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSA) surveys, the Mini Z Burnout Reduction survey, and a post-program engagement survey.
Knowledge of burnout mechanisms and prevention rose from 13.5% pre- to 94.7% post-intervention (absolute difference 81.22%, 95% CI 66.87–95.58, p < 0.001, Cohen's h = 1.9).
Perceived ability to use training to cope with stress increased from 8.11% pre- to 94.7% post-intervention (absolute difference 86.63%, 95% CI 73.55–99.71, p < 0.001, Cohen's h = 2.1).
Mini Z burnout scores remained relatively unchanged despite high participant engagement and appreciation for mind-body resilience approaches and community support.
