Evaluation of the CBSM Program Online and in Person to Reduce Caregiver Burnout

Professional burnout is a common syndrome among healthcare workers, impacting both their well-being and the quality of care provided . It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. This multicenter study evaluates the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) program in preventing burnout. This intervention, based on cognitive-behavioral techniques, integrates stress management tools and relaxation exercises over eight 2-hour sessions. The study aims to recruit 200 healthcare workers, divided into three groups: in-person intervention, hybrid format (videos + videoconferences), and delayed intervention (in-person/hybrid), across two hospital centers (CHUGA and CHMS). Data will be collected at three time points (M0, M3, M6), with emotional exhaustion (MBI) as the primary outcome, supplemented by measures of individual, relational, and organizational factors. By comparing different intervention modalities (in-person vs. hybrid, immediate vs. delayed), this research will provide practical recommendations to enhance burnout prevention strategies in the hospital setting.
