Burnout is recognized as a negative contributor to well-being within healthcare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether participation in the Peace Education Program (PEP), a 10-week wellness course, promoted durable improvement of burnout and wellness in a large academic medical center. We deployed PEP virtually through a series of free, interactive, online wellness sessions focusing on 10 domains: peace, appreciation, inner strength, self-awareness, clarity, understanding, dignity, choice, hope, and contentment. Two weeks before and six months following the sessions, we distributed de-identified surveys based upon the validated Schwartz Outcome Scale-10 (SOS-10) with Likert scale scores 0-6 to assess participant wellness. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze statistical differences between post- and pre-course data. Sixty-nine faculty, trainees, and staff registered to participate, 21 participants completed the pre-course survey and 10 completed the post-course survey. The pre-course mean + standard error (SE) SOS-10 score was 43.2 ± 0.8, which improved to 51.0 ± 0.7 post-course ( < 0.001). Overall, all 10 domains demonstrated improved mean scores over time, with the five domains of "inner strength" ( = 0.008), "understanding" ( = 0.030), "peace" ( = 0.048), "choice" ( = 0.026), and "hope" ( = 0.020) demonstrating statistically significant score improvements six months after course completion. Participants completing ≥7 sessions benefited more than their counterparts and achieved statistically significant improvement in SOS-10 wellness scores (8.77 points) six months after course completion. Our findings demonstrate improved wellness in participants following peace education course completion. This free, interactive, online course may be utilized at other medical centers to improve wellness.
职业倦怠被认为是医疗保健领域中影响幸福感的一个负面因素。本研究的目的是评估参与为期10周的健康课程“和平教育计划”（PEP）是否能在大型学术医疗中心促进职业倦怠状况的持久改善以及提升幸福感。我们通过一系列免费、互动的在线健康课程以虚拟方式开展PEP，这些课程聚焦于10个领域：和平、感恩、内在力量、自我意识、清晰、理解、尊严、选择、希望和满足。在课程开始前两周和结束后六个月，我们基于经过验证的施瓦茨结果量表 - 10（SOS - 10）分发了去识别化的调查问卷，该量表采用0 - 6的李克特量表评分来评估参与者的幸福感。使用曼 - 惠特尼U检验来分析课程前后数据之间的统计差异。69名教员、学员和工作人员注册参加，21名参与者完成了课程前调查，10名完成了课程后调查。课程前SOS - 10评分的均值 + 标准误差（SE）为43.2 ± 0.8，课程后提高到了51.0 ± 0.7（<0.001）。总体而言，所有10个领域的平均得分随时间推移都有所提高，“内在力量”（= 0.008）、“理解”（= 0.030）、“和平”（= 0.048）、“选择”（= 0.026）和“希望”（= 0.020）这五个领域在课程结束六个月后显示出统计学上显著的得分改善。完成≥7节课程的参与者比其他参与者受益更多，并且在课程结束六个月后SOS - 10幸福感得分取得了统计学上显著的提高（8.77分）。我们的研究结果表明，参与者在完成和平教育课程后幸福感得到了提升。这个免费、互动的在线课程可在其他医疗中心用于提升幸福感。
