Subject: SBAR Recommendation — Pilot Peer‑Support and Structured Debriefing Program to Reduce Trauma and Burnout
Dear Manager,
I would like to recommend implementing a staged pilot of a structured peer‑support and debriefing program, integrated with organization‑level prevention measures, to reduce work‑related trauma symptoms and burnout among frontline staff.
Frontline clinicians exposed to traumatic clinical events face elevated risk of PTSD symptoms, moral distress, and burnout, which increase absenteeism, turnover, and error risk. Single, one‑off psychological debriefing has shown limited benefit. By contrast, ongoing peer‑support models and multi‑component programs embedded in organizational change show greater promise for recovery and sustained impact.
Evidence indicates that the strongest effects arise when timely, trained peer support and trauma‑informed debriefing are paired with systemic changes that address workload and access to clinical care. Without structured training, referral pathways, protected time, and evaluation, uptake and effectiveness are likely to be inconsistent.
Pilot: Launch a 6‑month pilot in one high‑risk unit with a trained peer‑support team, voluntary trauma‑informed debriefing after qualifying incidents, and clear referral pathways to EAP/mental‑health services.
Standardized training in Psychological First Aid and trauma‑informed peer support for peer supporters and unit leaders should be provided. Organizational supports should include allocating protected paid time for participation, reviewing staffing patterns for high‑exposure units, and ensuring rapid clinical referral capacity. Monitoring and evaluation ideas include collection of pre/post measures (e.g., PCL‑5 for PTSD symptoms; Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout), utilization metrics, sick‑leave and turnover indicators, and qualitative staff feedback. We can then use the Knowledge‑to‑Action cycle to adapt the program to local barriers and facilitators, iterate based on evaluation, and plan phased rollout.
This would be most effective if we could secure an executive sponsor, maintain a modest implementation budget, and link with occupational health and HR.
If you approve, I will prepare a concise two‑page pilot proposal with budget estimates, training partners, evaluation instruments, and a timeline for your review.
Sincerely,
Marissa Bradley
