The only arm is a mind-body medicine training program for parole staff. The training program consists of 3 parts: 1. An initial 4-day training; 2. A 2-day practicum; and 3. Four group consultation sessions. .
Other: Mind-Body Medicine Training Program
The 4-day training includes lectures and small group participation. Lecture topics cover information on a variety of mind--body techniques and the small groups allow participants to practice the techniques. The 2-day practicum will teach staff the ways in which they can share the skills they have learned one-on-one with parolees and families of parolees. The practicum lectures will provide a review of the mind-body skills and examples of practical applications. The practicum will also include breakout sessions to allow participants to practice their skills. The four 2-hour group consultation sessions will allow time for the trained staff to share their experiences as they teach these skills to others and ask any questions that may arise. These consultations will support the ongoing sharing of mind-body medicine skills with the parolees and the families of parolees. Edit
Change from Baseline on Resilience assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Resilience will be measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The CD-RISC consists of 25 questions that are rated on a 5-point scale, with higher scores representing greater resilience. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Change from Baseline on Coping Self-efficacy assessed using the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE scale) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Improvements in self-efficacy will be measured using the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE scale). The CSE scale consists of 26 items that are rated using an 11-point scale that ranges from "0 = Cannot do at all" to "10 = Certain can do". Higher scores indicate greater levels of coping self-efficacy. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Change from Baseline on Empathy will be assessed using the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation
Improvements in empathy will be measured using the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ). The TEQ scale consists of 16 items that are rated using a 5-point scale that ranges from "0 = never" to "4 = always. Higher scores indicate higher levels of empathy. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Change from Baseline on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session
The DASS - 21 consists of 7 questions each to measure the emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. Higher scores indicated higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Change from Baseline Burnout using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Decreases in burnout will be measured with Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI). The OLBI consists of 16-items that are rated using a 4-point scale that ranges from "1= strongly agree" to "4 = strongly disagree". There are two subscales: Exhaustion and Disengagement. Higher scores indicated greater levels of burnout. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Focus Group for Parole Staff Who Are Using Mind-Body Skills with Their Supervised Parolees
Focus group interviews determine will how parole staff have been using what was taught in the mind-body medicine training and how the training has affected them, their work, and their supervision of parolees.
Time frame: 3 months after the last consultation group
