Design of an Intervention to Equip Middle Managers and Managers in Healthcare Institutions With Tools to Increase the Resilience of Their Teams

The main objective of this preparatory action (experimental study without control group, before and after measurements) is to develop and test the feasibility of the e-Resilience tool in a relevant environment (TRL6). This web-based tool has been designed to facilitate the work of the top and middle management of healthcare institutions to strengthen the resilience of their teams to face critical situations inherent to healthcare activity.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Which components of the e-Resilience intervention need to be improved? 2. Does the e-Resilience tool improve the knowledge of middle managers in healthcare institutions on specific techniques and strategies to strengthen the resilience of the professionals and teams under their care? 3. Is the e-Resilience tool helpful and applicable to clinical settings in the opinion of middle managers in healthcare institutions?

Participants in the study are middle management and healthcare professionals from primary care centres and hospitals in the Valencian Community (Spain). A group of experts review the components of the intervention/tool to improve its adaptability to clinical settings. Subsequently, a sample of healthcare professionals and middle managers complete the intervention by answering a knowledge questionnaire before and after the intervention and a survey to evaluate the tool.

There is no control group.

Treatment and study plan

Resilience training intervention

Other

Training intervention on tools and strategies to strengthen the resilience of work teams in healthcare centres.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of incorporations and adaptations necessary for the validation of e-Resilience in a relevant environment.

    Time frame: 5 months

    Number of change proposals of the expert group to adapt the tool to the target environments' needs and enhance its applicability.

  2. Hits on resilience knowledge questionnaire (pre-intervention).

    Time frame: 3 months

    Number of correct answers to questions on knowledge of models, techniques, tools and strategies for building resilience in clinical settings.

  3. Hits on resilience knowledge questionnaire (post-intervention).

    Time frame: 3 months

    Number of correct answers to questions on knowledge of models, techniques, tools and strategies for building resilience in clinical settings.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clarity of the e-Resilience tool components.

    Time frame: 3 months

    Clarity of the e-Resilience tool components (scale 1-5, where 1 = not clear at all and 5 = totally clear).

  2. Usefulness and applicability of the e-Resilience tool.

    Time frame: 3 months

    Usefulness and applicability of the e-Resilience tool (scale 1-5, where 1 = not useful or applicable at all and 5 = fully useful and applicable).

  3. Perception of improvement of own capacity to strengthen the resilience of healthcare teams.

    Time frame: 3 months

    The contents of the course have allowed me to learn strategies to strengthen the resilience of the professionals or teams in my charge (scale 1-5, where 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree).

  4. Willingness to recommend e-Resilience.

    Time frame: 3 months

    I will recommend the intervention to other colleagues (scale 1-5, where 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree).

  5. Willingness to use e-Resilience in the future.

    Time frame: 3 months

    I will apply any of the tools or strategies learned to strengthen individual, team or organisational resilience in my work environment. (scale 1-5, where 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree).

  6. Overall satisfaction with the e-Resilience intervention.

    Time frame: 3 months

    Overall satisfaction with the e-Resilience intervention (scale 0-10, where 0 = not at all satisfied and 10 = completely satisfied).
