What is being measured

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

  1. PsyCap Questionnaire-24 (PCQ-24)

    24-item questionnaire with the following response options: 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=somewhat disagree, 4=somewhat agree, 5=agree, 6=strongly agree. Total raw score ranges from 24 to 144 and the overall score is calculated as a mean, with higher scores corresponding to greater psychological capital. The four subscales are Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism and each contain 6 items which are averaged.

    Measured: Baseline, 5-month, 8-month, 11-month

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurses (WRS-GN)

    46-item questionnaire with response options on a 10-point Likert Scale (1=completely disagree and 10=completely agree). Total scale scores range from 46-460, with higher score indicating higher work readiness. The four domains of work readiness are work competence, social intelligence, organizational acumen, and personal work characteristics

    Measured: Baseline, 5-month, 8-month, 11-month

  2. Professional Quality of Life Scale

    30-item questionnaire with the following response options: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Very Often. There are 3 domains, and each domain includes 10 of the 30 total items. A sum of 22 or less on any domain = score of 43 or less = indicating a low level; a sum of 23-41 = score of 50 = average level; sum of 42 or more = score of 57+ = high level.

    Measured: Baseline, 5-month, 8-month, 11-month

  3. Self Compassion Scale Short Form

    12-item questionnaire with response options on a 5-point Likert scale (1=almost never, 2, 3, 4, 5=almost always). The sum of the items range from 12 to 60 with higher scores indicating higher self-compassion. Average scores are categorized as 1 to 2.5 = low self-compassion, 2.5 to 3.5 = moderate self-compassion, and 3.5 to 5 = high self-compassion

    Measured: Baseline, 5-month, 8-month, 11-month

  4. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-2)

    2-item questionnaire with the following response options: 0=not at all, 1-several days, 2=more than half the days, 3=nearly every day. Total score ranges from 0 to 6. A score of 0-2 indicates minimal anxiety while a score of 3 or greater indcates possible anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline, 5-month, 8-month, 11-month

  5. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2)

    2-item questionnaire with the following response options: 0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, 3=nearly every day. Total score ranges from 0 to 6. A score of 0-1 indicates minimal or no depressive symptoms, score of 2-3 indicates mild depressive symptoms, and a score 4-6 indicates moderate to severe depressive symptoms.
