Table 1.
Maslach Burnout Inventory scores of emergency medicine residents before and after participation in a corporate wellness program.
| Pre-EE mean (SD) | Post-EE mean (SD) | Pre-DP mean (SD) | Post-DP mean (SD) | Pre-PA mean (SD) | Post-PA mean (SD) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All classes combined (n=34 pre-intervention, n=24 post-intervention) | ||||||
| MBI score | 24.3 (9.8) | 26.2 (9.7) | 14.2 (5.4) | 15.8 (6.6) | 33.1 (5.0) | 37.9 (5.3) |
| PGY-1 class (n=13 pre-intervention, n=9 post-intervention) | ||||||
| MBI score | 20.9 (9.7) | 24.2 (8.2) | 11.9 (4.7) | 14.6 (6.3) | 33.5 (3.8) | 39.0 (3.9) |
| PGY-2 class (n=9 pre-intervention, n=7 post-intervention) | ||||||
| MBI score | 22.6 (7.8) | 28 (12.2) | 13.4 (5.2) | 17.1 (8.2) | 36.0 (4.7) | 38.6 (6.0) |
| PGY-3+ class (n=9 pre-intervention, n=4 post-intervention) | ||||||
| MBI score | 31.6 (8.3) | 22.5 (7.8) | 19.2 (3.4) | 15.8 (7.1) | 30.1 (4.7) | 34.25 (7.1) |
PGY-3+ also includes EM/IM combined residents in their third, fourth, and fifth years. There are 46 total residents in this training program, 14 per year, and two per class in the fourth and fifth years of EM/IM.
Pre = prior to implementation of the happiness practice sessions, Post = after completion of these 6 sessions.
Three learners did not identify their learner level on the pre-intervention MBI, and four did not identify their learner level on the post-intervention MBI.
Scoring for EE (per MBI scoring guidelines): High = 27 or greater, Moderate = 17–27, Low = 0–16.
Scoring for DP (per MBI scoring guidelines): High = 13 or greater, Moderate = 7–12, Low = 0–6.
Scoring for PA (per MBI scoring guidelines): High burnout = 0–31, Moderate burnout = 32–38, Low burnout = 39 or greater. Lower personal accomplishment raw scores are an indication of higher burnout, so this item is reverse scored.
PGY, post graduate year; EM, emergency medicine; IM, internal medicine; MBI, Maslach Burnout Inventory; EE, emotional exhaustion; DP, depersonalization; PA, personal accomplishment.
