Resilience Training for Healthcare Staff (RTHS) Implementation Evaluation Phase 1
Abstract
The Master Resilience Training (MRT) Medical Program includes a 2-hour Resilience Training for Healthcare Staff (RTHS) aimed to bolster resilience by preventing compassion fatigue and burnout. As per Army Operation Order (OPORD) 14-43, the training is required by Soldiers and Department of the Army (DA) Civilians working at Army Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). Since its implementation in August 2014, MTF compliance with offering the RTHS training had not been evaluated. As of September 2016, 149 MRTs had been certified to teach the MRT Medical Program. Between October and November 2016, 149 MRTs received an online survey invitation. A follow up phone survey was attempted to 97 MRTs stationed INCONUS. Results of the evaluation included confirming the number of MRTs certified to teach the RTHS module, percentages of MTF Commands that offer RTHS, and barriers to offering RTHS at MTFs. Recommendations to system, policy, and program barriers can improve compliance with the OPORD 14-43. Future steps include an outcomes evaluation, and an implementation fidelity evaluation of the RTHS module.
