The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an internet-based self-help program reduces burnout in teachers. The study will also evaluate the program's acceptability which means assessing the extent to which users complete the program and find it useful. The main questions it aims to answer are:
This concurrent multiple-baseline single-case experimental study aims to assess the efficacy and acceptability of an internet-based self-help program designed to mitigate burnout among teachers. The self-help program, named MyLife, adopts an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework and comprises eight modules. Preceding the commencement of the study, the program was tailored to address the specific needs of teachers through collaboration with people with lived experiences and the administration of nationwide surveys. Additionally, the daily questions utilized in this single-case study design were meticulously crafted for this study. In this study no guidance other than reminders will be offered.
Participants will be instructed to:

| MyLife: An internet-based self-help program to reduce burnout | Behavioral | MyLife is a internet-based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy oriented self-help program to reduce burnout. In this study a tailored to teachers version of the program will be used. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Burnout Assessment Tool | Burnout Assessment Tool is a validated measure which evaluates to what extend people experience burnout in work place. The scale is a 5-point Likert type, meaning "1 = Never" to "5 = Always" (minimum:34 to maxiumum:150). Higher scores from the scale represent higher burnout. Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted and Cronbach's alpha value was stated as 0.95. | At baseline and after 8 weeks |
| Valued Living Questionnaire | Valued Living Questionnaire is a validated measure and its aim is to evaluate valued living. The scale consists of 10 items with a 7-point Likert type as 0 = Not at all true and 6 = Completely true (minimum:0; maxiumum:60). The scale, for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted, has two sub-dimensions: "progress" and "blockage". While the progress subscale expresses that the person takes action in line with his values, the blockage dimension means that the person avoids certain experiences and moves away from a value-oriented life. The Cronbach's alpha value of the Turkish version of the scale was found to be 0.78; as for the progress sub-dimension was 0.77, and for the blockage dimension was 0.76. | At baseline and after 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2 | AAQ-2 is a measure aiming to evaluate experiential avoidance. The scale consists of 7-point Likert type (minimum:7 to maxiumum 49). Higher points indicate higher experiential avoidance. | At baseline and after 8 weeks |
| System Usability Scale |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Daily measures | Daily measures will include questions about burnout, valued living and experiential avoidance. | Daily questions will be asked during 8 weeks and data will be collected daily. |
