Description
Presenter: Dr. Patricia Robinson
Overview.
A recent review of 14 studies evaluating the use of ACT to address burnout found that 13 studies reported ACT to be associated with a positive outcome on at least one outcome measure subscale (Towery-Swift, Lauvrud, & Whittington, 2022). Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) is a form of ACT that developed in the context of healthcare and with the input of health care workers. This webinar will provide guidance on how healthcare workers can use FACT materials (the Life NOW program) to cultivate their psychological flexibility and resilience.
Objectives.
- Describe the prevalence of burnout and stress overload among healthcare workers and barriers to use of ACT and other treatments.
- Discuss the evidence for use of ACT and FACT to enhance healthcare worker resilience.
- Use tools and methods from the Life NOW program to provide Telehealth and/or in-person services to healthcare workers seeking assistance with stress overload or burnout.
