Abstract
Objective
To explore the relationship and identity of Health Care Worker stressors to a measure of perceived burnout and to a novel intervention tool.
Participants and Methods
From July 2019 to June 2020, we surveyed Health Care Workers (HCW) pre and post COVID19 in an independent local community hospital for burnout with the Health Care Provider Wellness Assessment tool. Linear regression and means comparison were used to identify overall job demand and resource perception with burnout, unique stressor portraits by provider subtype and mean survey scores between those who did or did not voluntarily complete at least 14 days of a 28 day novel self-help intervention tool.
Results
Regarding the pre COVID-19 data, of 73 respondents, there was statistically significant (p<.01) correlation between overall job demands (directly) and resources (inversely) with burnout intensity. With respect to the HCW stressor characteristic analyses there was statistical significance (p<.05) between the mean frequency occurrence of the top 5 stressors identified by respondent subtype when compared to the mean occurrence of overall individual responses within the corresponding subtype. Finally, although limited by a low number of respondents, the intervention tool analysis suggested a therapeutic trend toward disruption of the stress-burnout relationship. Regarding the post COVID-19 data, 18 respondents did not show statistically significant characterizable stressor portraits (ie stressors were present but not patternable).
Conclusion
Unique stressor portraits were identified by HCW subtype which correlated with more intense burnout self-perception. Additionally, there was a trend toward self-help tool efficacy in mitigating burnout.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study had several limitations. First, it was conducted at a single organization on a voluntary basis that may have contributed to selection bias both inside the survey and the intervention tool. Secondly, as noted in the statistical analysis, the number of study participants completing at least 14 days of the intervention tool was small. Also, while the HCPWA survey was written in simple language, perception of the issue of concern behind the question may have been understood differently between participants for some questions.
