Objective: To test the World Health Organization 5 Well-Being Index assessment tool as a practical way of detecting well-being changes across health care providers (HCPs) during high-consequence infectious disease (HCID) outbreaks. Participants and Methods: The study took place from October 2014 to March 2015 at a Midwest referral hospital with 2059 beds on 2 campuses. The study focused on a group of HCPs recruited for Ebola emergency response planning during the HCID outbreak in Africa. Results: Average well-being scores were worse during the initial weeks and months of the Ebola emergency response planning. Scores were lower (worse) among employees actively involved in response planning. Conclusion: Health care personnel (HCP) responding to HCID outbreaks face significant physical, cognitive, and emotional stressors Despite this, well-being assessments are not consistently integrated into emergency response plans. The World Health Organization 5 Well-Being Index assessment tool offers a practical way to detect well-being changes across HCP during HCID outbreak and response.
