This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) compared to virtual body mapping (VBM) on reducing burnout symptoms. The recruitment and data collection for this study took place between May 2023 – May 2024. PLs were randomized into either ACT or VBM. Baseline and post-intervention measures included the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI tx-1), Centers of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II). Descriptive statistics were calculated.
Of 58 enrolled participants, 13 completed the study (23% completion). Descriptive results suggest that PLs in ACT saw improvement in the average scores for STAI tx-1, CES-D, and AAQ-II. PLs in VBM saw improvement in the average score for the MBI, PSS-10, STAI, CES-D, BRCS, and AAQ-II. Barriers to recruitment and retention affected the study’s success, resulting in modifications to the recruitment strategy, study protocol, and data analysis. Insights from this study offer researchers an opportunity to improve the design of future work involving PLs. Studies involving PLs should consider integrating participation into clinical schedules and ensuring funding to support recruitment and retention.
本研究旨在评估接受与承诺疗法（ACT）与虚拟身体映射（VBM）相比在减轻职业倦怠症状方面的有效性。本研究的招募和数据收集于2023年5月至2024年5月期间进行。参与者被随机分为ACT组或VBM组。基线和干预后测量包括马氏职业倦怠量表（MBI）、感知压力量表（PSS-10）、状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI tx-1）、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）、简短弹性应对量表（BRCS）和接受与行动问卷（AAQ-II）。计算描述性统计数据。
在58名登记参与者中，13人完成了研究（完成率为23%）。描述性结果表明，ACT组的参与者在STAI tx-1、CES-D和AAQ-II的平均得分上有所改善。VBM组的参与者在MBI、PSS-10、STAI、CES-D、BRCS和AAQ-II的平均得分上有所改善。招募和留住参与者的障碍影响了研究的成功，导致对招募策略、研究方案和数据分析进行了修改。本研究的见解为研究人员提供了一个改进未来涉及参与者的研究设计的机会。涉及参与者的研究应考虑将参与纳入临床日程安排，并确保有资金支持招募和留住参与者。
