Summary

This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of a meditation intervention utilizing a smart phone-based meditation app on resident burnout, well-being, and performance self-efficacy in a randomized clinical trial. 500 participants will be enrolled for a 4 week intervention.

Detailed description

Burnout is an increasingly prevalent challenge in the medical field and especially prominent in residency. Burnout negatively affects learning and decision-making, physician performance, and patient outcomes. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions are effective at reducing burnout and strengthening well-being in physicians. Furthermore, mobile health mindfulness-based interventions have similar benefits to in-person interventions while offering the advantages of increased scalability, lack of physical constraint, and lower costs. This project will use a novel mobile health MBI and measure resident burnout, well-being, and self-efficacy in performance.
