Positive feedback
Participants in the study will provide consistent positive feedback to the colleagues they work with in the medical ICU (MICU) over a 4 week duration.
|
Behavioral: Positive feedback
Participants will submit positive feedback comments to their colleagues (anonymously or signed, participant-dependent) through an anonymous survey link, a minimum of twice weekly to 6 uniquely different individuals over a 4 week period (total minimum 24 unique individuals over the study period). |
- Teamwork climate, as measured by selected items from the validated Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]The SAQ measures teamwork climate, safety climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, perceptions of management, and working conditions. The six items assessing teamwork climate will be used. 5 point likert scale is used. Mean of the items - 1 * 25 will convert each participant's results to a 100 point scale (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 points).
- Resiliency, as measured by the validated Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]The BRS is comprised of 6 items on a likert scale. Responses varying from 1-5 for all six items give a total range of 6-30. This sum will be divided by the total number of questions for a final score.
- Burnout, as validated by the single-item burnout scale inventory [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]This single item inventory provides 5 definitions of burnout that the participant will choose that most closely fits their personal level of burnout at the moment
