Feasibility and Acceptability of the Unified Protocol for Burnout
Sponsor: West University of Timisoara
Summary
The present study has three primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the Unified Protocol for Burnout (UP-B) an intervention derived from the Unified Protocol (Barlow et al., 2018); (2) to assess the acceptability of the intervention among both recipients and psychotherapists; and (3) to examine preliminary signals of the UP-B's efficacy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the intervention feasible as indicated by recruitment rates, data collection procedures, and acceptable rates of participant retention and treatment completion? 2. Is the UP-B acceptable for both participants and psychotherapists considering content, content structure, mode of delivery, and adherence? 3. Does the UP-B show preliminary evidence of effectiveness (i.e., efficacy signals) in reducing burnout, anxiety, depression, and increasing well-being?

Unified Protocol for Burnout
During the intervention, participants will complete eight modules designed to equip them with a defined set of skills for managing clinical burnout (i.e., understanding emotions, mindful emotion awareness, awareness and confrontation of physical sensations, cognitive flexibility, enhancement of cognitive functioning, and emotion-focused exposures). After each module, participants will be assigned homework exercises, which will be reviewed and discussed during the subsequent session.
