Digital Coaching to Address Health, Wellness, and Burnout Among Healthcare Workers: Pilot Study Results
Self-reported burnout decreased from 59% at baseline to 35% at follow-up. Work exhaustion (<i>p</i> < .05), stress (<i>p</i> < .05) and sleep problems (<i>p</i> < .01) reduced significantly, and wellness practices (<i>p</i> < .05), moderate physical activity (<i>p</i> < .01), and healthy daily eating (<i>p</i> < .05) improved.Conclusions/Applications to Practice:Our pilot study suggests that a brief digital wellness program may address burnout and increase health and well-being among front-line staff and clinicians. Healthcare settings should consider this type of program for their workers, especially given the added burden of COVID-19 on the healthcare system.
