Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health Interventions for Teams (CCSH-TI) With Faculty and Staff
Emory University
Summary
Emory Spiritual Health has developed a Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health group-based intervention, called CCSH Interventions for Teams, and are enrolling staff and providers into the groups in this randomized study design. The groups will meet once every other week for 60 minutes for 8 weeks (4 sessions total). The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this novel team-based intervention that includes mindfulness and compassion-based approaches with mixed-role oncology teams. Employees (n = 80; nurses, advanced practice providers (APPs), physicians, staff) working at an NCI- designated Comprehensive Cancer Center will be randomized by team (8-12 employees/group) to Compassion Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI) or TAU (Treatment as Usual) group. The research objective is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CCSH-TI, and to develop and validate a novel, low-burden ambulatory assessment "toolkit" to improve the measurement of psychological safety and burnout.

The research team will conduct a mixed-method feasibility and acceptability study of CCSH-TI with mixed-role o…
