About this trial
The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to test if the Support4Resilience toolbox can improve mental wellbeing of healthcare workers in elderly care. The main questions it aims to answer is:
Is the Support4Resilience toolbox effective in improving the mental wellbeing of healthcare workers in elderly care?
Researchers will compare an intervention and a control group to see if the use of the Support4Resilience toolbox improves the mental wellbeing of the intervention arm participants.
Participants will be given access to the toolbox and structured workshops will be organized for them to use it. Participants in the control arm will not have access to the toolbox and no other alternative activities are planned.

Support4Resilience toolbox
BehavioralThe Support4Resilience toolbox includes 3 tools that elderly care leaders will use in collaboration with their workers. The tools are the following: 1. Mapping and identification tool: it provides leaders with a holistic awareness of the current status of the organization through integrating healthcare workers' and informal caregivers' perspectives. 2. Reflection and education tool: it provides contextual understanding of 'work-as-done' rather than 'work-as-imagined', and educational components to identify successful adaptations and solutions to reduce capacity-demand gaps. 3. Re-organization tool: designed to help reframing by identifying which practices to preserve, which to implement, and which to de-implement, resulting in detailed action plans.

Responses are converted to a 0-100 scale and the total score is calculated as the mean of the 7 items. A higher score indicates a higher level of work-related burnout.
