Self-Care Program and Burnout Prevention in First-Year Medical Oncology Residents (Mixed-Methods Quasi-Experimental Study)

Burnout is highly prevalent among oncology clinicians, including residents in training. This prospective, mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study will evaluate how burnout changes over 12 months during the first year of medical oncology residency and explore which work-related, professional identity, and program support factors influence this variation. Residents will participate in a structured self-care and burnout prevention program with multiple modules (e.g., yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, music therapy, Balint groups, workshops, mentorship). Quantitative burnout outcomes will be measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), and qualitative insights will be collected through individual semi-structured interviews. The study will also describe sociodemographic characteristics, baseline burnout prevalence, participation/adherence, satisfaction, and implementation barriers/facilitators.

Impact of Resident Participation in Post-ICU Follow Up Clinic

This study is being conducted to describe the impact of a meeting between patients that were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and a provider that cared for the patients during the period of critical illness. The study team is aiming to describe the effect this meeting has on the physician that previously cared for the patient. The study team hypothesizes that facilitating involvement in post-ICU clinic and creating longitudinal relationships between providers of critical care and survivors of critical illness will have positive effects on trainees, both in professional fulfillment and burnout scores and in perceptions of critical care.

Building Your Successful Nursing Career

This study aims to evaluate a career planning mobile App specifically tailored for male nurses.This three-year experimental project aims to recruit 120 male nurses (60）in the experimental group and 60 in the control group). Employing a prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, the study will include six follow-up points (pre-intervention, post-intervention at 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months) to examine the effectiveness of career self-efficacy, career adaptive behaviors, occupational resilience, career success, and career continuity intentions of male nurses over time. The repeated measures data will be analyzed with the intention-to-treat analysis method and General Estimating Equations (GEE). This research represents an innovative development of the world's first theoretically grounded career planning mobile App for male nurses.The study's results can serve as a valuable reference for future career planning initiatives in nursing practice and education.
