About

This study aims to determine the efficacy of MAGO (Online Self-care Training Program for Psychologists), a person-directed, individual, occupational intervention via videoconference in six sessions on a weekly basis. By promoting self-care behaviors, it is expected to reduce burnout levels and to increase work engagement in clinical psychologists working in Chile.

Full description

Clinical psychologists are susceptible to develop burnout as a result of facing consistently emotionally taxing job demands and a high requirement for empathy. Implementing self-care behaviors can help to prevent negative consequences of work stress and the promotion of positive outcomes such as optimal professional functioning and enhanced well-being in psychologists.

The intervention is a person-directed, individual, primary occupational intervention. It will be carried out via videoconference in six weekly sessions of 45 minutes. MAGO is a program derived from Self-care Assessment for Psychology (SCAP). From a preventive perspective on self-care, items represent strategies or behaviors that may be integrated into one's professional and personal life on a more ongoing and proactive basis to promote well-functioning.

Chile has presented a slow but progressive development of e-mental health research, and Internet-based interventions are at an early stage of development in this country. Using videoconference and web-delivered questionnaires are crucial in reaching psychologists considering problems such as long distances of transportation and a tiny budget for mental health. Nevertheless, Chile scores 52 in the Global Connectivity Index, while digital technologies are highly utilized across all social strata.
