Summary

This pilot study tested whether a 'Relational Playbook' combined with leadership coaching could help reduce burnout among cardiology teams at six VA hospitals. Ten staff members participated, using the playbook's resources and interventions to improve their work environment. The goal was to see if this approach was practical and well-received, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
The Relational Playbook (a set of resources and interventions) plus leadership coaching
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could provide a practical tool for healthcare teams to reduce burnout and improve workplace culture.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to other settings. It tests feasibility, not effectiveness, so it's too early to know if it actually reduces burnout.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The primary human subjects are members of VA CCLs from 6 sites (6-50 members per site), generally consisting of CCL nurses, technicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and physicians. CCL nurse managers may also oversee affiliated departments that they may request to include in this study. * Potential departments include interventional radiology, electrophysiology, and echocardiography. * The investigators refer to these individuals and departments as the cath team. * All members of the cath team from each site will be included. * Female VA employee subjects may be pregnant during this study, but their involvement in this research will not impact a pregnancy. * Both Veteran and non-Veteran employee subjects will be invited to participate provided they meet the inclusion criteria of being a VA employee and member of a cath team. Exclusion Criteria: * Protected classes such as prisoners and institutionalized individuals are excluded.
