背景：医护人员的情绪疲惫（EE）很常见，因此与护理质量较低有关。迫切需要有效的干预措施来解决 EE 问题。 目的：这项随机单次暴露试验检验了写感谢信干预措施对改善医护人员福祉的功效。 方法：总共 1575 名医护人员被随机分配到两个写感谢信提示之一（以自我为中心还是以其他为中心），以评估差异疗效。在基线和干预后 1 周收集对 EE、主观幸福感、工作与生活平衡和工具参与度的评估。参与者获得了基线和四分位数基准分数的 EE 分数。配对样本 t 检验、独立 t 检验和相关性探讨了干预措施的有效性。语言查询和字数统计软件评估了感谢信的语言内容以及与幸福感的关联。结果：两种情况下的参与者在干预和 1 周随访期间在 EE、幸福感和工作与生活平衡方面均表现出显着改善 (P
Background: Emotional exhaustion (EE) in health care workers is common and consequentially linked to lower quality of care. Effective interventions to address EE are urgently needed.Objective: This randomized single-exposure trial examined the efficacy of a gratitude letter-writing intervention for improving health care workers' well-being.Methods: A total of 1575 health care workers were randomly assigned to one of two gratitude letter-writing prompts (self- vs other focused) to assess differential efficacy. Assessments of EE, subjective happiness, work-life balance, and tool engagement were collected at baseline and 1-week post intervention. Participants received their EE score at baseline and quartile benchmarking scores. Paired-samples t tests, independent t tests, and correlations explored the efficacy of the intervention. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count software assessed the linguistic content of the gratitude letters and associations with well-being.Results: Participants in both conditions showed significant improvements in EE, happiness, and work-life balance between the intervention and 1-week follow-up (P
