RISE Program for Nurses

A Randomized Controlled Trial of the RISE Program for Nurses

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the RISE program has a significant impact on nurses' resilience, insight, self-compassion, and empowerment, as well as mental and physical well-being, in their personal lives and their working environment.

This study will include the face-to-face visits of eight weekly 90-minute psychoeducational group sessions in a private conference room at AdventHealth. No absences are permitted due to lack of engagement. Participants will only be compensated for the number of attended sessions. The LMHC facilitator will send a reminder email to the control group participants after the intervention group participants attend their eighth session.

There will be three unpaid optional follow-up monthly booster sessions that focus on skill development. Participants will be invited to attend these booster sessions during the 3 months following their group's RISE Program. Attendance will be recorded. No other data will be collected during the booster sessions.

The following assessments will be used to measure study outcomes: Brief Resilience Scale (BRS); Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS); Self-Compassion Scale - Short Form (SCS-SF); Psychological Empowerment Instrument (PEI); Stress Mindset Measure - General (SMM-G); Perceived Stress Survey (PSS); Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI); Public Health Surveillance - Wellbeing Scale (PHS-WB); RAND MOS Sleep Scale Survey; RAND 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); World Health Organization Health and Work Performance questionnaire (WHO-HPQ); and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. In addition, demographic assessments will be collected. Employment with AdventHealth will also be tracked longitudinally at 12 months with Human Resources.
