This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Nursing Research (CFDA 93.361 Nursing Research) provides $811,354 to Clemson University to conduct research on understanding and visualizing well-being and burnout among emergency department clinicians (ECs).
The key products and services delivered under this grant include:
Quantifying the relationships between institutional stressors (e.g., staffing strain, patient congestion) and individual/contextual factors (e.g., pandemic status, demographics) with EC well-being and burnout using statistical modeling.
Developing a visualization framework to display predictors and real-time predictions of EC well-being to support decision-making.
The project involves a collaboration with Prisma Health - Upstate, which is providing clinical expertise, leadership, transdisciplinary research capabilities, and technical support to the project team. This 2-year grant (September 2024 to August 2026) aims to improve understanding of factors contributing to EC well-being and burnout in order to develop decision-support tools to address these issues.
