摘要
Rationale: Effective interventions to prevent burnout among intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians are urgently needed. Death cafes, group discussions about death, build a sense of community and create a space for reflection on distressing events. Objective: To assess whether participation in regular death cafes can prevent burnout in ICU clinicians (physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists). Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted from July 2020 to December 2022 in 10 ICUs in Louisiana. Subjects were randomized to attend four psychotherapist-facilitated virtual death cafes or to a control arm. The primary outcome was burnout defined by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey at 6 months. Depression and anxiety scores were measured, as were qualitative data on stressors, coping, and death cafe experience. Results: Among 340 clinicians who were screened and gave consent (171 physicians, 169 nonphysicians), 251 participated (mean age, 31.0 6 6.8 years; 63% female; 72% White; 37% nurses, 27% residents, 25% interns, 11% other). Burnout prevalence was 19% at baseline. Of 136 participants who completed the 6-month follow-up, no significant differences were found between intervention and control for the primary outcome (18% vs. 25%; unadjusted odds ratio, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.26-1.57; P = 0.33). There were no differences in anxiety or depression. Notably, the study was limited by an inability to achieve target enrollment and a high attrition rate (46%). Conclusions: Virtual death cafes were unable to reduce burnout, although the study was underpowered to detect differences between groups.
