The toll of COVID-19 stress on the mental health of the workforce has been well-documented. The present study examined the use of the Project ECHO framework to provide practices and resources on stress management and emotion regulation to increase individual and organizational health and well-being.
Three independent ECHOs were designed and conducted over an 18-month period. Data was collected on the implementation of new learning and comparisons of organizational efforts toward being more secondary trauma responsive from baseline to post initiative, using cloud-based survey methods.
Findings suggest that the use of micro-interventions at the organizational level improved over time in the areas of resilience-building and policy-making, and that individuals were actively integrating skills related to managing their stress.
Lessons learned adapting and implementing ECHO strategies in the midst of a pandemic are offered, as well as how to cultivate wellness champions in the workforce.
COVID-19 给员工心理健康带来的压力已经得到充分记录。本研究考察了使用 ECHO 项目框架为压力管理和情绪调节提供实践和资源，以提高个人和组织的健康和幸福感。
在 18 个月的时间里设计并进行了三个独立的 ECHO。使用基于云的调查方法，收集有关新学习的实施情况以及与提高对二次创伤的反应能力相关的组织工作的比较数据，这些数据是从基线到倡议后的。
研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，在建立弹性和制定政策方面，组织层面的微观干预措施得到了改善，而且个人也在积极整合与管理压力相关的技能。
本文提供了在大流行期间适应和实施 ECHO 策略的经验教训，以及如何在员工中培养健康促进者。
