Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention is a wellbeing workshop, which is planned to be delivered to a variety of GPs and GP registrars as part of different events or programs (e.g., educational workshops, conferences). The workshops will vary in size from approximately 20-50 GPs/registrars. Attendees will be invited to also participate in the evaluation, but this will not be compulsory. As such, the workshops themselves do not comprise the research activity; rather the completion of the evaluation surveys is the research activity.
GPs and GP registrars will participate in a wellbeing workshop delivered either in-person or via videoconference. The workshop is designed specifically for GPs and GP registrars, providing them with psychoeducation regarding burnout and wellbeing and involving several activities for them to develop a personalised wellbeing plan (e.g., value translation, identification of a support network). The workshop emphasises attendees identifying and translating their values into activities, and planning for burnout should it arise. The activities will be completed individually on a worksheet, which attendees will be encouraged to complete following the workshop. The content delivered will be to the group as a whole rather than individualised, however individuals will be asked to apply to the content to their personal circumstances. The workshop will be delivered by a registered psychologist with a PhD in GP registrar burnout. Attendees will undertake one workshop, which will run for between 60 and 90 minutes, with no follow-up. In-person workshops will be conducted at pre-existing gatherings of GPs (e.g., supervisor workshops, GP conferences). Adherence will not be assessed per se, as 'adherence' would only involve attendance at a workshop, however follow-up surveys will explore attendees' ability to implement their wellbeing plans. The evaluation will comprise three surveys: one at baseline, a brief feedback survey one-week after the workshop, and a follow-up survey 3 months following the workshop.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
As a pilot evaluation, data will be collected and analysed to determine the impact of the workshop and seek feedback on improving the workshop. Formal power analyses have therefore not been undertaken.
Descriptive statistics will be calculated, and univariate analyses undertaken to compare baseline and 3-month follow-up outcomes (e.g., chi-square tests, t-tests). Qualitative feedback will be content analysed from the three surveys.
