About this trial

This clinical trial tests an adapted version of the Helping Ovarian Cancer Patients Cope (HOPE) intervention to address burnout among gynecologic oncology clinicians. Stress and burnout among gynecologic oncology clinicians can have far-reaching impacts not only on physicians at the individual level (e.g., distress, mental illness) but also at the professional (e.g., worse patient outcomes, increased errors) and societal levels (fewer physicians in this specialty, more system strain). The original Helping Ovarian Cancer Patients Cope (HOPE) is a workshop to promote hope among patients with ovarian cancer through creating positive narratives using the hope theory and social-cognitive theory. The adapted intervention for clinicals (HOPE-C) will use the same concepts but tailored to clinician experiences by fostering peer support and retelling their challenging stories and may address burnout for gynecologic oncology clinicians.
