About this study
Official title: Enhancing Resilience in the Nursing Workforce in the COVID-19 Environment: Transitioning From Face-to-face to Online Learning
The purpose of the study is to pilot a new training which aims to foster resilience to some of the clinical and workload pressures that nurses encounter on a daily basis.
Read the detailed description
Background:
Many nurses are exposed to challenges in their clinical setting on a daily basis, which often results in them experiencing stress, burnout and decreased satisfaction with their work; this can have a long term impact on the recruitment and retention rate of these nurses. This stress has intensified over the last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The online training being piloted in this trial has been adapted from a recent face-to-face resilience enhancement programme developed for nurses in the UK. By creating an online training, it is hoped that this intervention will be accessible to more nurses, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives:
The purpose of this trial is to understand whether the online training can improve levels of resilience, psychological, and wellbeing, and whether or not it has changed the way nurses experience in their work environment.
Methods:
All registered nurses working at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust during the COVID-19 pandemic will be invited. We intend to recruit 100 nurses who are currently working at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust to participate in the pilot study. Recruited nurses will be randomised to the intervention group or the control group. Nurses who are randomised to the intervention group will be invited to do the online training over a four week period. There will be the opportunity to participate in four 2 hour online facilitated sessions during the four-week training period. Nurses will also be asked to complete 30 minutes of independent pre-work ahead of each of the facilitated sessions. The sessions will cover a range of topics and will tackle areas such as building hardiness and maintaining a positive outlook; emotional intelligence and intellectual flexibility; reflective and critical thinking; enabling spirituality and achieving work-life balance. The training also involves twice weekly mentorship sessions ranging between 30 and 60 minutes.
Nurses will be invited to complete two surveys (pre- and post- intervention) which will be used to evaluate the trial outcomes and feedback on training. On completion of the post-intervention survey, nurses will receive a certificate for 10 hours of CPD. Nurses randomised to the control group will only be invited to take part in the pre- and post- intervention surveys, but will not use the online training. However, after completing the survey, nurses will be given the opportunity to complete the pre-work and access the online facilitated sessions so they can receive their CPD certificate.
Implications:
Once the training has been piloted, the effectiveness of the online training will be evaluated at national level.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
REsOluTioN (Resilience Enhancement Online Training for Nurses)Other
The online REsOluTioN training involves virtual or face-to-face mentorship sessions and facilitated online interactive group sessions on four topics (Building hardiness and maintaining a positive outlook, Intellectual flexibility and Emotional Intelligence; Achieving life balance and enabling spirituality and Reflective and critical thinking). The training will be of four-week duration. Over the four-week period, the training will comprise 4x120 minute facilitated online group sessions; 4x30 minute independent learning activities; and eight 3:1 online mentoring sessions delivered between 30 and 60 minutes at flexible timings.
ControlOther
Nurses randomised to the control group will only be invited to take part in the pre- and post- intervention surveys, but will not use the online training. However, after completing the survey, nurses will be given the opportunity to complete the pre-work and access the facilitated sessions of the training so that they can receive their CPD certificate.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Online REsOluTioN training | Active comparator | The active comparator arm will receive access to online REsOluTioN training to enhance resilience. Receives: Other: REsOluTioN (Resilience Enhancement Online Training for Nurses) |
| Control | Other | The control arm will have no access to the online training. Receives: Other: Control |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Resilience
Brief Resilience Scale - Scores range from 1 (low resilience) to 5 (high resilience).
Measured: Four weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mental wellbeing
Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale -The total score of the 14-item Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale ranges from 14-70. Higher scores indicate higher level of mental well-being.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing REsOluTioN (Resilience Enhancement Online Training for Nurses) in people with Resilience, run by Oxford Brookes University at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Resilience (time frame: Four weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05074563, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 May 2022.
