What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

1. TCI, Temperament and Character Inventory

   A test developed by Clononger, Przybeck, Svrakic and Wetzel (1994) and currently widely used in various countries such as the United States, France, and Spain.

   A tool that measures personality traits such as autonomy, solidarity, and self-transcendence, along with individual traits such as stimulation seeking, risk aversion, social sensitivity, and endurance. In this study, the Korean version (Min et al., 2007) of the German version of TCI-RS, the standardized test, is adapted : Based on the test result, the individual's personality characteristics of the resident are identified and applied.

   Measured: Change from baseline at right after 6 cycles of TSC program (up to 24 weeks from baseline)

2. MBI, Maslach Burnout Inventory

   As a test developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981), MBI is a tool that measures the sub-concepts of burnout, such as emotional burnout, dehumanization, and personal sense of accomplishment.

   MBI is a measurement tool used in more than 90% of empirical exhaustion research worldwide, and a test developed to measure the exhaustion of personnel providing interpersonal services including medical workers.

   In this study, MBI adapted and validated by Kang Jeong-hee and Kim Cheol-woong (2012) is used. Participate in the program according to the type of burnout of the client and measure the change in the burnout level of the participants before and after.

   Measured: Change from baseline at right after 6 cycles of TSC program (up to 24 weeks from baseline)

3. ER89, Ego Resilience Scale

   A test developed by Block and Kremen (1996) that measures sub-concepts of self-elasticity such as interpersonal relationships, vitality, emotional control, curiosity, and optimism.

   In this study, a scale adapted by Park Eun-hee (1997), which was verified as 76-79, is used and measures the change in the participant's ego-elasticity before and after participating in the program.

   Measured: Change from baseline at right after 6 cycles of TSC program (up to 24 weeks from baseline)

4. DASS-21, Depression Anxiety StressScale

   A test developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) to measure depression, anxiety, and stress corresponding to psychological distress.

   The internal agreement was verified as 0.87~0.91, 0.83~0.89, and 0.83~0.92 for depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively (Youngsun Lee et al, 2019; Jun et al, 2018).

   Measured: In this study, changes in participant's psychological pain are measured at each session during the program (6 cycles of TSC program, 3-4 weeks interval, up to 24 weeks from baseline).

5. Subjective Well-being

   A test developed by Diener E (1985) to measure subjective satisfaction with daily life.

   A tool showing the internal consistency reliability of 0.87 and the test-retest reliability of 0.82.

   Measured: Change from baseline at right after 6 cycles of TSC program (up to 24 weeks from baseline)

6. SCS, Self-Compassion Scale

   Developed by Neff (2003) and validated as a Korean version by Kim et al. (2008) / 26 items / 6 sub-factors: self-kindness, self-judgment, universal humanity, isolation, mindfulness, hyper-identification on a 5-point scale (minimum 6 to maximum 30, the higher the score, the better the outcome)

   Measured: Change from baseline at right after 6 cycles of TSC program at the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 4 weeks, up to 24 weeks from baseline)
