Abstract

This study investigates the lived experiences of clinical administrative professionals in healthcare settings who have undergone Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) training. The importance of this study lies in addressing significant gaps in existing literature, particularly the long-term outcomes of CBT training in healthcare workplace settings and the necessity of tailoring these training to diverse work environments. The purpose of the study is to explore how CBT training influences the mental health, job performance, and overall well-being of these professionals.

Employing a Transcendental Phenomenology approach, the study will conduct in-depth interviews with clinical administrative professionals in various healthcare settings. The sample will include individuals who have completed CBT training, and data will be collected through phenomenological reduction to uncover the essential meanings of their experiences. Data analysis will involve identifying common themes and patterns in participants' narratives.

The expected results of this research include valuable insight into the sustainability of CBT's benefits and its impact on employee well-being and organizational productivity. The study anticipates discovering the specific challenges and benefits of CBT training for clinical healthcare workers, contributing to the development of more effective and sustainable mental health interventions in healthcare workplace settings. The findings will contribute to the broader field of workplace mental health interventions, highlighting the unique contributions of this study.
