Filter by:This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week program in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing work absences and improving the well-being of healthcare workers. Half of participants will be healthcare employees who are frequently absent from work, whereas the other half will be healthcare employees with normal attendance patterns. All participants will undergo MBSR training and the outcomes of both groups will be evaluated.
This is a single-institution cohort study with two tiers. All participants receive the interventions in Tier 1. Tier 1 is an education study where participants can complete electronic surveys on their pre and post intervention confidence, perform two simulated patient encounters and have their documentation of electronic template monitored longitudinally over 12 months. Participants are free to opt out of any activity related to education assessment or system-based interventions to promote the use of learned skills (e.g. priming or profile feedback). Signed informed consent will Not be required for this tier. Tier 2 includes additional measurements to the Tier 1 activities, and a priming intervention (e.g. provided the names of patients they have have). Participants in Tier 2 complete psychological inventories at three time points to measure emotion regulation and burnout, and participate in a semi-structured interview. after completing the training, they will complete a "priming" intervention. The investigators will require signed informed consent to participate in Tier 2.
The question this study is designed to answer is whether or not the use of a MUSE Meditation Device lowers student registered nurse anesthetist's perception of stress, anxiety, and burnout within the Mayo Clinic Doctorate of Nurse Anesthesia Practice Program.
In the last few decades, the world has seen a significant increase in the occurrence of occupational diseases related to Burnout Syndrome (professional exhaustion) and stress in educators. These disorders affect mental health and teaching activity. In this way, they need to develop socio-emotional skills to cope with the psychosocial stressors related to the school environment. Currently, mindfulness-based therapies have been recommended to help educators acquire emotional self-control, and to improve self-esteem, metacognition, attention, resilience and affectivity, in addition to better the social skills needed in the school milieu. The main objective of the proposed research project is to elaborate a program of Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion - educators (MBHP - educa) to be applied to a population of Brazilian public school educators. The efficacy of the program will be evaluated by cognitive testing. Blood tests for the above-mentioned stress-related molecules will be performed. The goal of developing the MBHP - educa Program is to promote and ameliorate the health care of public school teachers. Developing such a research proposal will contribute to debate and implement public health policies focussed on promoting the health of public school teachers in Brazil.
This is a prospective parallel non-blinded randomized study with two arms, an intervention group and an active control group. Sixty healthy, but stressed nurses will be randomly assigned to either participate in a 6-week internet-based mindfulness meditation program produced by the Cleveland Clinic called Stress Free Now for Healers or to listen to relaxing music for at least 5 minutes a day for 6 weeks, and pre-post comparisons will be made for RNA expression profiles, plasma cytokine concentrations, telomerase activity, 6-point salivary cortisol and several self-reported assessments of physical and mental health.
Due to a number of factors, residents are susceptible to mistreatment (i.e., discrimination, harassment, and abuse) and toxic outcomes (i.e., burnout, attrition, and suicidality). Our work following the FIRST Trial identified considerable variation in program-level rates of resident-reported burnout, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and verbal abuse. To investigate these issues, the SECOND Trial will include a national mixed-methods analysis of and a pragmatic cluster-randomized controlled trial to improve the resident learning environment and trainee wellness.
Certified nursing assistants (CNAs), who provide the majority of care to persons with chronic disease and/or cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, face tremendous job and home stress, and as a result absenteeism and job turnover are high. This is a preliminary study that will tailor Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) - a promising new program designed to cultivate greater self-care, and strengthen resilience and coping skills - for the CNA population and study its effectiveness. If results are favorable, MSC could be incorporated into CNA training programs, thereby helping contribute to a more effective and stable long-term care workforce.
This research study will examine the effects of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique on academic physician burnout, depression, insomnia, perceived stress, and resilience through a mixed methods approach.
The objective is to check whether a training program in mindfulness and self-pity based on a 4-session intervention (abbreviated program) is as effective as the standard 8-session MBSR program in reducing work stress and burnout in tutors and residents of Medicine and Family and Community Nursing. It is a controlled clinical trial, randomized by cluster, of three parallel arms, multicentric. Six teaching units (ratio 1: 1: 1) will be randomized to one of the three study groups: 1) Experimental Group-8 (EG8); 2) Experimental Group-4 (EG4); 3) Control group (CG). At least 132 subjects will participate, 44 in the EG8, 44 in the EG4 and 44 in the CG. The interventions will be based on the MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) program, to which some of the practices of the MSC (Mindful Self-Compassion) program will be added. The EG8 intervention will be carried out during 8 weekly sessions of 2.5 hours, while the EG4 intervention will be of 4 sessions of 2.5 hours. The participants will have to practice at home for 30 minutes / day in the EG8 and 15 minutes / day in the EG4. In the 3 groups the questionnaires FFMQ (mindfulness), SCS (self-pity), ordinal scale (0-10) and questionnaire PSQ (perceived stress) and MBI (burnout) will be passed. Empathy will also be measured, through the EEMJ, anxiety and depression disorders (EADG) and self-perceived health status.
This study seeks to evaluate the prevalence and characterize predictors of physician burnout in the anesthesia residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The study also seeks to evaluate the effect of an exercise intervention on burnout and personal resiliency (i.e., less individual stress given the same workload).
