The study aimed to pilot test a well-being curriculum for KL2 scholars to be used across the Clinical and Translational Science Award consortium.
Methods:
Between November 2022, and May 2023, 36 KL2 scholars from 25 hubs participated in the program. The General Well-Being Index for U.S. Workers and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) were completed by scholars before and after the program.
Results:
Postparticipation, there was a trend of improvement in the domains of well-being, sleep, anxiety, and fatigue.
Conclusion:
Implementing a virtual synchronous well-being curriculum allowed the scholars to connect across the consortium and improve their well-being.
