| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participation-Feasibility | ≥50% of staff choose to participate=Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluated by calculating index scores of the percentage of clinical staff who choose to participate | 1 year |
| Percentage Completion of Full Activity-Feasibility | > 80% of those who participate complete the activity=Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluated by index scores of the percentage of clinical staff who complete the full activity | 1 year |
| Mean Completion Time-Feasibility | The activity is completed by the group in 40 minutes or less-Feasibility. This measure of feasibility will be evaluatedby individual group completions times and overall analysis of descriptive statistics on the time for completion of the activity by all groups. | 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change in Anxiety Score | Changes in participant state anxiety will be evaluated using the visual analogue scale in measuring state anxiety. The electronic scale displays a horizontal line divided into 30 equal-sized partitions. The left edge of the scale is marked "calm" and the right edge is marked "anxious." A sliding locator is positioned at the midpoint of the scale. The participant is instructed to use the computer mouse to place the locator at the scale position representing their current level of anxiety. The score is automatically calculated by rounding the relative distance of the locator from the left edge of the scale to the nearest integer value between 0 and 30. A higher score indicates greater anxiety. A comparison of scores pre- and post- intervention by calculating a paired t-test comparison of means |
