CCSH (Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health) for Teams
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
Emory Spiritual Health has developed a Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health group-based intervention, called CCSH Interventions for Teams, and are enrolling staff and providers into the groups in this randomized study design. The groups will meet once every other week for 60 minutes for 8 weeks (4 sessions total). The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this novel team-based intervention that includes mindfulness and compassion-based approaches with mixed-role oncology teams. Employees (n = 80; nurses, advanced practice providers (APPs), physicians, staff) working at an NCI- designated Comprehensive Cancer Center will be randomized by team (8-12 employees/group) to Compassion Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI) or TAU (Treatment as Usual) group. The research objective is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CCSH-TI, and to develop and validate a novel, low-burden ambulatory assessment "toolkit" to improve the measurement of psychological safety and burnout.

Compassion Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI)
Delivered to healthcare teams by spiritual health clinicians proficient in group facilitation. It is composed of 4 sessions delivered every other week and lasting 60 minutes each.

It also provides psychoeducation about skillful coping strategies. Each session consists of didactic material about team norms and safety, a feeling check-in, facilitated group discussions about social connection and professional team building, and meditations to promote mindfulness, to cultivate a feeling of being nurtured, and to access compassion for self and others. CCSH-TI is delivered to healthcare teams by spiritual health clinicians proficient in group facilitation.
