About this trial
The project endeavours to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a psychoeducational training intervention for professional burnout and related psychological variables among both medical and non-medical workers in Ukraine during wartime. A secondary aim is to assess the outcomes of the intervention at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and follow-up (single-arm feasibility design). The participants receive two days of a psychoeducational training focusing on different facets of burnout prevention.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Acceptability of the intervention
Feasibility will be indexed by participants attendance of the workshop sessions (\>25% of sessions).
Time frame
Post-Intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 weeks from baseline)2
Feasibility of intervention
Feasibility will be indexed by drop-out rate (\<50% of participants); dropout is defined as having attended none of the sessions
Time frame
Post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 days from baseline)3
Acceptability of the intervention
Acceptability will be indexed by the retention rate (having filled out the post-intervention questionnaire) of participants to the study (\>30% of questionnaires).
Time frame
Post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 days from baseline)4
Acceptability of the intervention
Acceptability will be assessed by using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (Attkisson \& Zwick, 1982)
Time frame
Post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 days from baseline)Secondary outcomes
1
Stress, anxiety and depression
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (Nilges \& Essau, 2015) will be used to analyse symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. The main score ranges from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms.
Time frame
At baseline, post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 from baseline), and follow-up (2 weeks after last workshop session)2
Resilience
The Brief Resilience Scale (Smith 2009) will be used to assess the ability to bounce back or recover from stress. The scale consists of six items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. For interpretation, a mean score is calculated ranging from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater resilience.
Time frame
At baseline, post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 from baseline), and follow-up (2 weeks after last workshop session)3
Traumatic stress
The International Trauma Questionnaire (Cloitre 2018) will be used to assess traumatic stress. Scores range from 0 to 25, with higher scores indicating greater somatic symptom burden
Time frame
At baseline, post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 days from baseline), and follow-up (2 weeks after last workshop session)4
Burnout - Exhaustion
The Masslach Burnout Inventory (Masslach et al., 1997) will be used to assess burnout, with the domain of emotional exhaustion ranging from 0-54.
Time frame
At baseline, post-intervention (after completion of 2 workshop sessions; 2-5 days from baseline), and follow-up (2 weeks after last workshop session)Locations
