This study employs a two-group, randomized controlled trial design that will utilize quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate the feasibility and intervention effect of an alternative delivery (online) of the Storytelling Through Music program (STM). Previous study of In-person delivery of Storytelling Through Music program STM with oncology nurses found it to be feasible and beneficial to coping with stress and work-related emotions. The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility and study intervention including follow-up surveys. Participants will be randomized into two (2) groups: Storytelling Through Music (STM) and Waitlist (Storytelling Through Music-Hybrid) STM group: Participants are led through a writing workshop over an online platform (i.e., Zoom or an equivalent) to develop their story. Simultaneous with the writing sessions are 10-minute self-care lessons. At the end of the development workshop, each participant will be paired with a songwriter who will turn participant stories into songs. A final workshop will be held for participants to debrief about the emotional experience of participating in the Storytelling Through Music program (STM) Waitlist control group (Storytelling Through Music-Hybrid), will listen to songs created by healthcare workers in the Storytelling Through Music program (STM) for 2 weeks. Participation length will be based on the randomized group assignment, a total of 19 weeks for the STM group and 13 weeks for the waitlist group. It is expected that about 50 people will take part in this research study.
