RESTORE for Burnout
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the RESTORE intervention to determine its effectiveness in reducing burnout among nurses. The goal is to engage nursing staff in redesigning their work systems to make their jobs less demanding and provide more resources. Nurses who work directly with patients on the study units are well-suited for this trial. Participants will share their experiences and complete surveys to measure the impact on job stress and engagement. As an unphased trial, this study allows nurses to actively contribute to creating a healthier work environment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on workplace interventions rather than medical treatments.
What prior data suggests that the RESTORE intervention is safe for reducing nurse burnout?
Research shows that the RESTORE program is safe for people. In earlier studies, many participants experienced less burnout after using RESTORE, and no harmful effects were reported. These studies aimed to improve work conditions to reduce stress, thereby lowering burnout. The program involves workplace changes to help nurses manage job demands better and receive more support. Participants often report feeling less stressed and more engaged at work after using RESTORE.
Additionally, similar programs to RESTORE have successfully reduced work-related stress in about 90% of cases. This suggests that RESTORE is well-received and effective in achieving its goals. No evidence links negative effects directly to the program, making it a promising choice for those considering participation.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the RESTORE trial because it aims to tackle burnout among healthcare staff with a fresh, systematic approach. Unlike traditional methods that might focus on individual coping strategies or stress management workshops, RESTORE is designed to change the work environment itself. By involving nursing staff directly in designing unit systems and implementing changes, it seeks to address the root causes of burnout. This collaborative and holistic approach could potentially lead to more sustainable improvements in workplace well-being.
What evidence suggests that the RESTORE intervention is effective for reducing nurse burnout?
Research has shown that programs like RESTORE can help reduce burnout. For example, one study found that social service workers who participated in an 8-week stress management program felt less burned out and emotionally drained. Another study showed that focusing on personal strengths helped reduce burnout in employees. Additionally, digital programs have consistently lowered work-related stress. In this trial, the RESTORE intervention will improve job conditions and is expected to effectively reduce burnout in nurses based on these findings.14678

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- RESTORE
Trial Overview
The RESTORE intervention is being tested for its effectiveness in reducing nurse burnout. Participants will be interviewed about their experiences with RESTORE and complete surveys assessing its impact on their work-related stress, resources available, burnout levels, and engagement at work.
How Is the Trial Designed?
4
Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Nursing staff will be identified from each unit to participate on the unit system design team. These staff will be directly exposed to the RESTORE intervention through participation in RESTORE sessions. These staff will participate in interviews about their experiences with the RESTORE intervention.
All staff working on the unit will be exposed to the outcomes of the RESTORE intervention and will be included in survey and interview data collection post-implementation.
Data will be collected from nursing staff before RESTORE is implemented on each unit.
Participants from four groups (listed below) will participate in interviews to identify ongoing barriers and facilitators that impact scalability of RESTORE. These four groups include: 1) leaders from hospitals that participated in the trial of RESTORE, 2) other leaders from our partner health systems, 3) leaders from other hospitals, and 4) leaders from advocacy or quality organizations.
