Article Abstract

Objective: Test web-based implementation for the science of enhancing resilience (WISER) intervention efficacy in reducing healthcare worker (HCW) burnout.

Design: RCT using two cohorts of HCWs of four NICUs each, to improve HCW well-being (primary outcome: burnout). Cohort 1 received WISER while Cohort 2 acted as a waitlist control.

Results: Cohorts were similar, mostly female (83%) and nurses (62%). In Cohorts 1 and 2 respectively, 182 and 299 initiated WISER, 100 and 176 completed 1-month follow-up, and 78 and 146 completed 6-month follow-up. Relative to control, WISER decreased burnout (-5.27 (95% CI: -10.44, -0.10), p = 0.046). Combined adjusted cohort results at 1-month showed that the percentage of HCWs reporting concerning outcomes was significantly decreased for burnout (-6.3% (95%CI: -11.6%, -1.0%); p = 0.008), and secondary outcomes depression (-5.2% (95%CI: -10.8, -0.4); p = 0.022) and work-life integration (-11.8% (95%CI: -17.9, -6.1); p < 0.001). Improvements endured at 6 months.

Conclusion: WISER appears to durably improve HCW well-being.

However, substantial changes have occurred in the psychiatric system in recent decades with a focus on patients' rights and the idea of consent.

Diarrhoea due to rotavirus remains a significant cause of child mortality in developing regions. Caregivers' perspectives on the social determinants of gastroenteritis and childhood vaccination, including the rotavirus vaccine, were explored through focus group discussions in Ethiopia (n = 6), Kenya (n = 14), and Malawi (n = 10), using a combination of thematic and framework analysis approaches. The results show that diarrhoea was perceived to be a burden in all three countries, particularly among infants, due to challenges in WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) infrastructures and poverty.
