Interventions

  • SUPPORTS — OTHER
    The SUPPORTS implementation model will be developed and refined based on community feedback. It will likely include a combination of strategies demonstrated to reduce burnout and secondary traumatic stress in the occupational health literature, such as psychoeducation about burnout, mindfulness training, or changes in scheduling or the physical environment. As the most effective interventions have been shown to involve an integration of both individual- and organization-directed strategies supporting each other, SUPPORTS will aim to include both. For example, the model may include provider-directed strategies such as group peer consultation meetings, and organizational-directed strategies such as increasing communication and providers' involvement in organizational decisions. Through this approach, SUPPORTS will aim to target therapist burnout and turnover at the provider and organizational level.

Study Details

The majority of children exposed to early adversity and trauma do not have access to sustainably delivered evidence-based mental health programs (EBPs), despite the growing prevalence of large-scale multiple-EBP implementation efforts aimed at increasing access to these services. The objective of this proposal is to develop and test a package of implementation strategies designed to promote the sustained delivery of child trauma EBPs by reducing provider turnover through targeting the associated mechanisms of provider burnout and organizational psychological safety climate. Findings will have a significant public health impact by informing efforts to increase the sustained availability of child trauma EBPs, thereby improving outcomes for children exposed to trauma.

Arms

  • Experimental: SUPPORTS Implementation Model
    The SUPPORTS implementation model will consist of a package of implementation strategies aimed at improving EBP sustainment through reducing provider burnout and turnover and improving organizational climate. The content and structure of SUPPORTS will be informed by the occupational health literature (e.g., psychoeducation about burnout, mindfulness training, or changes involvement of providers in organizational decision-making) and from a needs and context assessment.
  • No Intervention: Implementation as Usual
    Agencies in the Implementation as Usual condition will have implementation strategies tied to the implementation of EBPs that these agencies in the community are already using (i.e., the study will measure the implementation strategies being used by the agency but will not provide any additional strategies). There will be no strategies related to reducing provider burnout and turnover and improving organizational climate.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Therapist Burnout [ Time Frame: The MBI will be completed by the therapist at baseline, and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up assessments (3, 6, and 12 months following pre-intervention/enrollment in study). ]
