Abbreviations: MBI-HSS(MP), Maslach Burnout Inventory–Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel; SMD, standardized mean difference.
The SMD is the difference in 2 sample means divided by the pooled SD (calculated using Cohen’s D); SMDs of 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 indicate small, moderate, and large effect sizes, respectively. For emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales, a negative SMD indicates an improvement. For all other outcomes, a positive SMD indicates an improvement.
