Core Tip	This study indicates that an 8-week group intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy leads to a significant reduction in burnout, anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as improvement of sleep quality, job satisfaction and self-efficacy. Importantly, the positive effects were preserved for at least three months postclosing of the intervention. Overall, the study demonstrates that brief structured cognitive behavioral therapy group programs are feasible and effective for clinical implementation of mental health support to operating room nurses.
