aHypothesis 1: efficacy of WISER: the intervention will improve NICU healthcare worker burnout (emotional exhaustion; primary outcome), depression, happiness, and work-life integration (secondary outcomes) in cohort 1 compared with waitlist control in cohort 2. (C1: 1-month post-baseline)−(C2: waitlist-baseline).

bHypothesis 2: WISER will be effective at 1 month. C1: 1-month post-baseline; C2: 1-month post-waitlist.

cHypothesis 3: effect of WISER will endure at 6 months. C1: 6-month post-baseline; C2: 6-month post-waitlist.

dHypothesis 4: effect of the condensed cohort 2 intervention will not be less effective than the full intervention in cohort 1. At 1-month: (C1: 1-month post-baseline)−(C2: 1-month post-waitlist); At 6-month: (C1: 6-month post-baseline)−(C2: 6-month post-waitlist).
