Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness booster course for UK healthcare staff who have previously participated in an eight-week mindfulness course. The measures of feasibility and acceptability that will be examined include: 1. the ease with which participants are recruited to the clinical trial; 2. the extent to which participants choose to remain in the mindfulness booster course; 3. the extent to which participants choose to remain in the clinical trial; 4. how acceptable the participants find the mindfulness booster course; 5. the level of outcome measure completion; 6. whether there is a preliminary indication that the course may reduce stress. Participants will be randomly allocated to either a mindfulness booster course or a control group, who will be encouraged to continue taking care of their wellbeing as they normally would. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at three time-points.


Clinical Trial Description

This pilot randomised controlled trial seeks to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness booster course for UK National Health Service staff who have previously completed an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention. Participants will be randomised to either the 8-week mindfulness booster course or a control group, in which participants will be encouraged to continue taking care of their wellbeing as they normally would. A battery of self-report measures will be administered online at baseline (weeks 0-1), mid-intervention (week 7), and post-intervention (weeks 11-12). The indices of feasibility and acceptability that will be examined include: 1. ease of recruitment; 2. participant retention in the intervention; 3. participant retention in the study; 4. acceptability of the intervention; 5. outcome measure completion; 6. whether there is a preliminary signal of efficacy on the primary outcome measure (stress). These indices will be compared to progression criteria (which are detailed in the outcome measures section) to determine whether the intervention is sufficiently feasible and acceptable to progress to a full-scale RCT in future research. ;
