Many healthcare workers experienced burnout, fatigue, and other adverse psychological outcomes stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the impact of a peer-to-peer support intervention (Stress First Aid) to improve health care worker well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among 28 hospitals and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and 2,077 health care workers, the intervention did not improve well-being outcomes, but it did have a protective effect against general psychological distress and post-traumatic stress disorder among health care workers in facilities with higher implementation adherence.
