Summary

This trial tests whether a nurse-led group programme called ViaMente can help reduce burnout and improve psychological well-being in mental health professionals. The programme consists of five weekly sessions focusing on recognizing and managing burnout, organizing time, reducing stress, and practicing self-care. The study will measure how acceptable and practical the programme is, as well as any changes in burnout and well-being before and after the sessions.
