About this study
Official title: Study Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial of an Online Self-Care Training Programme to Reduce Burnout and Promote Work Engagement in Clinical Psychologists: MAGO Study
This study aims to determine the efficacy of MAGO (Online Self-care Training Program for Psychologists), a person-directed, individual, occupational intervention via videoconference in six sessions on a weekly basis. By promoting self-care behaviors, it is expected to reduce burnout levels and to increase work engagement in clinical psychologists working in Chile.
Read the detailed description
Clinical psychologists are susceptible to develop burnout as a result of facing consistently emotionally taxing job demands and a high requirement for empathy. Implementing self-care behaviors can help to prevent negative consequences of work stress and the promotion of positive outcomes such as optimal professional functioning and enhanced well-being in psychologists.
The intervention is a person-directed, individual, primary occupational intervention. It will be carried out via videoconference in six weekly sessions of 45 minutes. MAGO is a program derived from Self-care Assessment for Psychology (SCAP). From a preventive perspective on self-care, items represent strategies or behaviors that may be integrated into one's professional and personal life on a more ongoing and proactive basis to promote well-functioning.
Chile has presented a slow but progressive development of e-mental health research, and Internet-based interventions are at an early stage of development in this country. Using videoconference and web-delivered questionnaires are crucial in reaching psychologists considering problems such as long distances of transportation and a tiny budget for mental health. Nevertheless, Chile scores 52 in the Global Connectivity Index, while digital technologies are highly utilized across all social strata.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
videoconferenceBehavioural
The intervention is a person-directed, individual, primary occupational intervention. It will be carried out via videoconference in six sessions of 45 minutes (on a weekly basis). Through guided dialogue, individual difficulties and opportunities of each subject will be examined in order to gain self-awareness of personal characteristics (strengths, limitations, maximum workload capacity) in their particular set of job demands and resources. Participants are encouraged to adopt the set of self-care strategies in each dimension, adapting them to their specific context. Activities will be carried out in Spanish by the researcher.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline occupational burnout

Measured: 8 weeks and 6 months.
Change from baseline work engagement
Utrecht Work Engagement (UWES-17) is comprised of 17 items. Total score ranges from 0 to 102, with higher scores indicating more work engagement.
Measured: 8 weeks and 6 months.
Secondary outcomes (5)
Change from baseline self-care behaviors
Self-Care Assessment for Psychologists (SCAP) is comprised of 21 items. Total score ranges from 21 to 147, with higher scores indicating higher frequency of self-care behaviors.
Measured: 8 weeks and 6 months.
Change from baseline general health
General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) is comprised of 12 items. Total score ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating lower levels general health.
