Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

A mixed method study consisting of CRNAs at Mayo Clinic Arizona, who work >0.5 FTE and have not been a new employee within the past 30 days. These participants will be asked to complete the full 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) instrument, which has 3 domains (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and sense of low personal accomplishment). The MBI scale has acceptable validity and reliability among nurses. ASA scores have been in use for over 60 years. They are used to assess the patient’s preoperative medical co-morbidities which is useful in assessing medical acuity and risk. Once the MBI scale is administered an EHR report of each participant’s mean average ASA score for the past 30 days will be generated. These mean ASA scores will provide a representation of the average acuity and workload of the patient under the CRNA’s care based on the severity of comorbidities and disease processes. Correlations between the burnout and fatigue measures, their subscales, and mean ASA scores will be assessed.
