Mindfulness Training Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using a Daily Mindfulness Practice With Biofeedback to Improve Job Satisfaction and Performance in a Primary Care Outpatient Clinic
The purpose of this research study is to determine if using HeartMath's biofeedback with emWave Pro daily mindfulness practice: is a practical and effective intervention to improve job satisfaction and performance of physicians, advance practice clinicians, and nurses; improves patient satisfaction; and affects resting blood pressure and heart rate when comparing baseline to follow-up measures.
This research study seeks to determine if using a daily mindfulness practice with EmWave Pro
HeartMath helps to achieve coherence through various standardized, interactive mindfulness
techniques, such as guided meditations focusing on positive emotions, breathing, and imagery.
The investigators seek to determine if using HeartMath's biofeedback with emWave Pro daily
mindfulness practice: is a practical and effective intervention to improve job satisfaction
and performance of physicians, advance practice clinicians, and nurses; improves patient
satisfaction; and affects resting blood pressure and heart rate when comparing baseline to
follow-up measures.
All participants will attend a one-time one-hour training session to explain cardiac
coherence and how to use emWave Pro. Participants will be randomized to be either in the
treatment group or the control group. Participants will use emWave Pro for at least one
5-minute session daily, Monday through Friday. The treatment participants will use it daily
for all 12 weeks. The control participants will use it daily only for weeks 7-12. The
treatment group will have the added component of weekly visits during the first 6 weeks of
the study from an investigator and the research coordinator. The purpose of the weekly visits
is focused on reinforcing accountability and achievement of coherence.
The participants will also complete questionnaires at baseline, week 6, and week 12 about
demographics, job satisfaction, and job performance. Participants' blood pressure and heart
rate will be collected at those three time points. Additionally, information about
participants' use of HeartMath, sick days, and patient satisfaction will be collected after
week 12.
