Clinical Trial Summary

This feasibility study develops methods for larger-scale research, evaluating the acceptability and perceived impact of a group acupuncture and acupressure intervention, as well as suitability of a self-report instrument. During their weekly training program, eleven OB residents at NYU Lutheran Medical Center will receive three sessions of auricular acupuncture therapy. (This resident population was previously anonymously surveyed and all expressed interest in participating in such a study). The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) will be administered at 6 time points. A brief survey will also be given to assess participants' acceptance of the intervention as well as applicability of the ProQOL instrument. Additional feasibility-related outcomes include protocol compliance/withdrawals, adverse events, and time taken to complete intervention and surveys.
