Abstract
In January 2022, HRSA awarded 44 grants under the [1] Promoting Resilience and Mental Health among the Health Professional Workforce and [2] Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program. Alongside the 44 grantees, HRSA funded a technical assistance center - the WCC - to support grantees’ work and contribute to a national framework to address burnout, suicide, mental health, substance use, and resiliency, incorporating evidence-based strategies.
In 2022, the WCC conducted a review of 43 of the 44 grantee proposals, voluntarily shared by grantees. As part of this review, we identified the measurements instruments for mental health, burnout, and moral injury proposed by the grantees. This information was shared back with grantees in August/September of 2022 as part of a brief summary of each grantee's projects and activities, and grantees updated the information as appropriate (34 grantees provided updates).
The measurement instruments utilized by the HRSA grantees are provided in this inventory. They are organized as instruments used by: 1) multiple grantees (i.e., more than one); 2) by one grantee; and 3) additional instruments identified as part of the WCC's literature review and environmental scan.
Measurement instruments are further categorized into 3 major areas: 1) Mental & Physical Health includes mental & physical health, resilience, and personal & social risk factors in this area; 2) Burnout includes measures of burnout, job satisfaction, and the work environment; 3) Moral Injury focuses on the experience of moral distress/injury and the organizational characteristics of shared governance aimed at institutionalizing worker engagement. We recognize these areas overlap.
Links and survey questions are provided when instruments are publicly available (see spreadsheet tabs). For instruments that appear to be proprietary, we provide links to the instrument when they are available online and/or links to the proprietary websites.
