Summary

This study tested whether one-on-one support from a resource navigator helps long-term care and retirement home staff access health and wellness resources. 123 staff members took part, with some getting a navigator and others not. Researchers measured changes in wellness, burnout, and COVID-19 outcomes over 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: resource navigator sessions
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple way to improve staff wellness and reduce burnout in long-term care homes.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study with 123 participants, so results may not apply to all settings. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.
