- : Background: Healthcare professionals often experience challenging working conditions, e.g., demanding physical work or time-sensitive tasks, which leads to a high risk of stress-associated disorders or burnout. Especially the COVID-19 pandemic as an additional stressor for healthcare highlighted the role of resilience, that is, the ability to maintain or return to good mental health during stress exposure. To promote mental health and resilience in healthcare professionals, previous studies point to self-care and self-compassion as promising factors. Objectives: The aim of the study therefore is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a newly developed online intervention with a focus on self-care and self-compassion to foster resilience in healthcare professionals. Methods: In a waitlist control design, 240 healthcare professionals will take part in the 6-week resilience intervention "resiLIR Healthcare Professionals". The online intervention contains a theoretical part conveying psychoeducational material as well as a training phase including practical exercises and mini-interventions in everyday life. Participants will assess resilience, burnout, and several resilience factors in online surveys pre-, during and post-intervention as well as 3, 6 and 12 months after completion as follow-up assessments. Implications: The study will contribute to stress and burnout prevention in healthcare professionals through offering a feasible and evidence-based online intervention.
