Abstract

Study Aims: The goal of the project is to support the mental and physical well-being of US healthcare workers (HCWs) to ensure high-quality, patient-centered care. We propose a cluster randomized controlled trial to establish the effectiveness of a Stress First Aid (SFA) intervention compared to usual care (UC) in both hospitals and clinics with an embedded evaluation to understand barriers and facilitators. Our specific aims are to: (1) test the comparative effectiveness of SFA versus UC on HCW mental and physical well-being; (2) understand and document any UC activities to support HCW well-being prior to implementing SFA; and (3) assess HCWs'/sites' experiences with SFA (acceptability, likelihood of uptake, lessons learned) and impact on HCW well-being.
