Evaluation of a Mind-body Education Program to Enhance Resiliency and Reduce Burnout in Residents

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Resident Burnout

In brief

This prospective, waitlist-control study is evaluating the benefits of a stress management and resiliency training program for residents (SMART-R). The primary aim of this study is to determine whether the SMART-R is effective at increasing coping skills and reducing stress among residents, reflected by changes in constructs such as emotional growth, perceived stress, optimism, and coping styles. Objective parameters (heart rate, galvanized skin response, sleep duration and quality, exercise and actigraphy) measured with the Basis health tracking device will help correlate objective signs to subjective report of stress.
