Primary outcome measure(s)
Change (from baseline) in Stress of conscience — 0, 5, 10 and 15 weeks and 6 months after baseline Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ). The purpose of the SCQ is to estimate stress related to a troubled conscience. The questionnaire consists of nine items describing different healthcare situations, each made up of two parts, an A question and a B question. The A question concerns how frequently the subject estimates that the situation discussed arises in the workplace. This is assessed on a 6-point Likert scale, where 0 is 'Never' and 5 stands for 'Every day'. For each A question, there is a B question following it, in which the degree to which the conscience is troubled in the given situation is estimated on a 10 cm visual analogue scale. The visual analogue scale ranges from 0 = 'No, it gives me no troubled conscience at all' to 5 = 'Yes, it gives me a very troubled conscience'.
