Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Teamwork climate, as measured by selected items from the validated Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ)
The SAQ measures teamwork climate, safety climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, perceptions of management, and working conditions. The six items assessing teamwork climate will be used. 5 point likert scale is used. Mean of the items - 1 * 25 will convert each participant's results to a 100 point scale (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 points).
Resiliency, as measured by the validated Brief Resilience Scale (BRS)
The BRS is comprised of 6 items on a likert scale. Responses varying from 1-5 for all six items give a total range of 6-30. This sum will be divided by the total number of questions for a final score.
Burnout, as validated by the single-item burnout scale inventory
This single item inventory provides 5 definitions of burnout that the participant will choose that most closely fits their personal level of burnout at the moment
