Abstract
Coping with the COVID-19 pandemic has been a lengthy and agonizing journey for critical care healthcare professionals (CCHP) [1]. Stressors such as increased work hours and workload, direct exposure to infected patients, lack of personal protective equipment, and frequent confrontations with morbidity and mortality has taken a toll on an already burnt-out profession [1]. This experience has emanated a range of psychiatric morbidities amongst CCHPs, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorders [2]. Action is imperative to prevent conceivable implications on both the organization and society at large, yet there exist minimal individual-focused interventions for such population [1]. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a realist-informed Individualized Psychosocial Intervention (IPI), which was theoretically developed to improve well-being and decrease burn-out symptoms amongst CCHPs.
