Learn More About PowerThe Relational Playbook for Burnout
Aurora, Colorado
Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VA) is prioritizing employee well-being due to crisis levels of clinician burnout and turnover. The VA aims to achieve this by becoming a "Best Place to Work" while delivering high quality, safe and equitable care to Veterans using learning health system (LHS) and high reliability organization (HRO) principles. The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) has proposed organizations create supportive learning environments to improve workforce well-being. However, there is no one-size-fits all solution. While the VA has invested in system level well-being efforts, including the Reduce Employee Burnout and Optimize Organizational Thriving (REBOOT) initiative, there is little guidance for teams on how to create supportive learning environments. To fill this gap, we developed The Relational Playbook. The Playbook consists of research-based resources and 50 evidence-based interventions for nurse managers to implement to change their team cultures including how to create joy in work and address difficult relationships. To support managers implementing the Playbook, the investigators propose leadership coaching as a novel implementation strategy.
Significance: The significance of this project is the potential to provide frontline managers with resources and research-based tools to create supportive learning environments that enhance employee well-being. Additionally, the study will contribute to the fields of implementation, LHS and HRO science and the VA efforts to enhance employee well-being and reduce burnout and turnover.
Innovation and Impact: The proposed research is innovative in that it attempts to shift the current model for the creation of supportive learning environments from an organization-level focus to the team level - where Veterans receive care. The investigators will partner with VA cardiac catheterization laboratories (CCLs) as a model LHS for this work. The investigators aim to implement and establish the feasibility and acceptability of the Relational Playbook intervention combined with leadership coaching. The hypothesis is that enhanced leadership coaching will be a more feasible and acceptable approach to support Playbook implementation and the cultivation of supportive learning environments than standard implementation support.
Specific Aims: Aim 1: Test the implementation, feasibility and acceptability of the Playbook intervention, coaching strategy, and study procedures. The VA Collaborative Evaluation Center (VACE), an independent group of mixed methods experts, will collect the feasibility and acceptability measures developed by Weiner et al. and select Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (REAIM) measures. Aim 2: Conduct a mixed methods process evaluation of intervention implementation. VACE will collect interview data to understand 1) intervention adaptations, ease of use, engagement, usefulness, and 2) implementation speed, costs, barriers, facilitators, and unintended consequences.
Methodology: The investigators propose a pilot, site randomized trial design with an embedded mixed methods process evaluation. The investigators have enrolled 6 CCLs and will collect staff and unit level data using surveys and interviews at baseline, 6 and 12 months. All 6 sites will implement the Playbook. CCLs will be randomized to enhanced leadership coaching implementation support (n=3) or standard implementation support (n=3). The enhanced implementation group will receive 6 months of virtual leadership coaching support. The standard implementation group will receive logistical support, but no advisement or coaching.
Next steps: The study findings will 1) establish the feasibility and acceptability of the Playbook intervention combined with a leadership coaching implementation strategy, and 2) inform the design of a pragmatic adaptive effectiveness trial. This trial will test the impact of the Playbook and coaching on employee well-being and factors that contribute to employee burnout, which is a new VA research priority area. This project is relevant to all aspects of VA healthcare for it will test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel Relational Playbook combined with a leadership coaching implementation strategy for frontline managers to cultivate supportive learning environments. This work will inform national efforts to enhance employee wellbeing due to crisis levels of employee burnout and turnover. The investigators will pilot the Playbook with 1:1 virtual leadership coaching to inspire nurse managers to improve their team culture. The investigators will conduct a mixed methods process evaluation to inform a pragmatic adaptive effectiveness trial. The investigators expect this study to demonstrate the Playbook combined with coaching is a feasible and acceptable approach to create supportive learning environments that improve employee well-being and address factors contributing to employee burnout and turnover.

SUPPORTS for Therapist Burnout
San Diego, California
The majority of children exposed to early adversity and trauma do not have access to sustainably delivered evidence-based mental health programs (EBPs), despite the growing prevalence of large-scale multiple-EBP implementation efforts aimed at increasing access to these services. The objective of this proposal is to develop and test a package of implementation strategies designed to promote the sustained delivery of child trauma EBPs by reducing provider turnover through targeting the associated mechanisms of provider burnout and organizational psychological safety climate. Findings will have a significant public health impact by informing efforts to increase the sustained availability of child trauma EBPs, thereby improving outcomes for children exposed to trauma.

Stress Reduction Strategies for Burnout
Los Angeles, California
Burnout and job dissatisfaction among clinicians are one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare today. Clinicians report feeling less engaged in their work and are leaving their fields in large numbers which reflects increasing stress from the pandemic coupled with increased administrative and regulatory demands and a decreased sense of autonomy. To attenuate these factors the current study will enact a series of interventions that would decrease mental distress, increase self-efficacy, and attenuate inefficiencies in their work environment to achieve sustainable improvement. The investigators will offer psychological training using techniques that have been shown to impact individual's mental health that target feelings of demoralization, depression and anxiety that result from chronic stress. Additionally, the investigators will offer individualized training on optimization of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to help clinicians from different fields and settings reduce their time and effort needed for documentation. The investigators will also engage clinicians in systemic redesign to empower clinician-directed changes to the health system environment. The investigators anticipate that each intervention will positively affect emotional wellbeing, skills mastery of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), and environmental dissatisfaction to reduce overall burnout.

Guaranteed Income for Parental Stress
Los Angeles, California
The City of Pomona is launching the Pomona Household Universal Grant (HUG) program in the Summer of 2024. Pomona HUG is a pilot project that will provide 250 parents/caregivers with children under 4 years old $500 a month for 18 months. Pomona's guaranteed income (GI) initiative provides relief for the most economically vulnerable households. The study will investigate the impacts of GI on financial security, material hardship, health and well-being, food security, social support, parenting, and childhood development. The intervention group will be compared to a control group of 350 parents/caregivers receiving only a nominal ($20) amount per month during the 18 month period.

AI Scribe Tools for Physician Workflow
Los Angeles, California
This is a three-arm pragmatic RCT of 238 outpatient physicians at a large academic health system, randomized 1:1:1 to one of two AI scribe tools or a usual-care control group. The two-month study will observe and compare the effects of each tool prior to system-wide roll out of selected tool (anticipated Spring 2025). We will use covariate-constrained randomization to balance the arms in terms of physician baseline time in notes, survey-measured level of burnout, and clinic days per week.
The primary purpose of the initiative is to improve quality, efficiency, and business operations at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health, and this initiative is not being done for research purposes. The results of this operational initiative will inform the widespread roll out of AI scribe tools across all providers within the UCLA Health System. Nevertheless, the UCLA study team plans to rigorously examine and publish the impact of this intervention across the health system, which is why the study team pre-registered the initiative.

Botox for Stress
Beverly Hills, California
The purpose of this prospective single-center, blinded\*, randomized, proof-of-concept study is to determine whether OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) injections will change the level of stress perceived by generally healthy adult female participants. It is hypothesized that BOTOX® injections will be associated with decreases in perceived stress levels, measured by scores on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire. The primary outcome measure is a chronological decrease in PSS scores between any two points of the study period.
Comparison of the placebo- and BOTOX®-treated participant scores will either support or disprove the study hypothesis.
Qualified participants who meet the study requirements, including a one-time completion of basic laboratory testing before treatment.
The treatment visit starts on day-1 of a 12-week period, which consists a total of four clinic visits and one online visit, which involve:
* vital signs and Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements
* basic/interval history and physical
* 2 Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaires
* injection of 64 units of either BOTOX® or sterile salt solution
* stay for 60-minutes after treatment for monitoring and to complete study tasks

Supervisor Check-ins for Burnout
Portland, Oregon
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and process of frequent supervisor-employee check-ins in reducing burnout among employees of primary care clinics in Portland, OR. Healthcare workers are at risk for burnout and associated adverse health and safety outcomes, including chronic diseases and occupational injuries. Not only does burnout affect healthcare workers, but burnout also affects the quality of patient care. The proposed study will create a check-in process between supervisors and healthcare workers, which addresses supervisor support, awareness of services and resources, and work-life balance. The Work-life Check-ins project expects to see reduced burnout among employees participating in the check-ins intervention compared to those in the control group.

Tele-STELLA for Alzheimer's Caregivers
Portland, Oregon
The purpose of this study is to test a revised psychoeducational intervention to help Care Partners for family members with dementia understand and reduce the distressing behaviors that come with progressive dementia. Tele-STELLA (Support via TEchnology: Living and Learning with Advancing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias) is a multicomponent videoconference-based intervention designed to facilitate effective management of behavioral and psychological symptoms common to the later stages of dementia. In the Tele-STELLA intervention, professionals ("Guides") meet with family members ("Care Partners") who care for persons with dementia. Working together, the Care Partners and Guides identify strategies to address upsetting behaviors. The goal of this intervention is to reduce upsetting behaviors and, thus, Care Partner burden.

Mindfulness-Based Interventions + CCT for Traumatic Stress
Palo Alto, California
In the last four years alone, residents of Puerto Rico have experienced a slew of natural disasters including Hurricane Maria in 2017, earthquakes in 2019 and 2020, the continued COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2022, and most recently Hurricane Fiona. This series of distressing events can lead to an increased need for mental health resources and trauma treatment. Furthermore, the unique single-district structure of the Puerto Rican education system allows for the efficient dissemination of potential interventions and treatment to all students.
The purpose of this study is to examine two treatment conditions for educators and school-aged children in Puerto Rico experiencing burnout, fatigue, and high stress: delivery of a mindfulness-based educator curriculum and, for children who report Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, delivery of the mindfulness curriculum with the additional intervention of Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT). The study has two aims: 1) To assess the efficacy of the mindfulness curriculum and of CCT in a population of students, counselors, and teachers, characterized by high stress over the last few years of natural disasters and pandemic challenges and 2) To identify genetic contributions to resilience by analyzing gene expression in students before and after the intervention.
The overarching goals of the investigators' research collaboration are to improve educators' psychological well-being and children's socioemotional development when faced with high stress and adversity and to improve mental health clinicians' competence and confidence in treating children exposed to trauma by training them in CCT. The investigators' research will identify critical biopsychosocial components responsible for the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional improvement and effective implementation strategies in a large but geographically dispersed school district. The knowledge base that will result from this study will inform the implementation of trauma-informed care in school settings and with populations experiencing stress and adversity, and contribute to the investigators' understanding of the underlying biology of these interventions to provide a rationale for further development and dissemination.

Nutrition-Based Interventions for Physician Well-Being
Stanford, California
Several studies have shown that self-valuation (also known as self-compassion) strongly predicts burnout in physicians. Although effective, existing self-compassion cultivation programs designed for physicians have significant time commitments and, historically, have had low physician participation rates. With occupational burnout among US physicians at an all-time high, there is a compelling and urgent need to identify pragmatic approaches to address low levels of self-valuation in physicians. This study aims to test the impact of a brief mindset intervention that frames daily food choices as an opportunity to demonstrate self-kindness on self-valuation and burnout in physicians over 6 weeks. Instilling a mindset shift that enables physicians to practice self-valuation as part of their existing, daily routine amidst extreme time pressures is a pragmatic and potentially powerful vehicle to promote self-valuation for physicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Burnout clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Burnout clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Burnout trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Burnout is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Burnout medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Burnout clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Mind-Body Conditioning for Student Burnout, Text Messages for Caregiver Burnout and CarePair for Dementia Caregivers to the Power online platform.
