Improving the Mental Health and Well Being of Healthcare Providers Through the Transcendental Meditation Technique

Insomnia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Improving the Mental Health & Well-Being of Healthcare Providers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Parallel Population Study Investigating the Reduction of Burnout and Enhancement of Well-Being Through the Transcendental Meditation Technique

Clinical Trial Summary

The level of stress-related disorders experienced by Healthcare Providers (HCPs) has increased due to the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, impacting patient care and provider shortages. This trial aims to evaluate the use of the Transcendental Meditation Technique in improving burnout and wellbeing of HCPs over a 3-month trial period. A total of 130 HCPs will be recruited from participating Miami hospitals, with 65 HCPs receiving training in the use of the Transcendental Meditation Technique. The remaining participants will be part of a matched control group and will not receive any training. Study outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months.

Clinical Trial Description

This parallel population study aims to optimize and evaluate Healthcare Provider (HCP) wellness and performance through an evidence-based stress reduction program, Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation (TM) has been found to be effective in reducing adverse mental health outcomes, including burnout, emotional exhaustion, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and trauma symptom severity. It is a mind-body program that allows the practitioner to experience progressively quieter, less excited states of mental activity. For this trail, 65 HCPs affiliated with three participating Miami hospitals (Baptist Health South Florida Hospital, Mercy Miami Hospital and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Miami) will receive instructions in the Transcendental Meditation Technique. A control group of similar numbers of HCPs will be recruited to match, to the best extent possible, for gender, age, type of HCP (doctor, nurse, etc.), and work schedule (e.g., days, nights, etc.). The control group participants will not receive Transcendental Meditation Technique training and will continue with their usual lifestyle. The total duration of the study period will be 3 months. Study outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months' posttest, with change in burnout, insomnia, symptom, and well-being, as measured by the corresponding indexes as the primary outcomes. ;
