Impact of a Virtual Reality-based Mindfulness Program on Clinician Wellness

{ "Virtual Reality Mindfulness for Clinician Wellness", "This study is exploring if a virtual reality (VR)-based mindfulness program can help improve the well-being of healthcare professionals. Researchers want to see if using VR mindfulness can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, which are often linked to burnout. The study will compare a group using the VR mindfulness program to a control group. Success will be measured by changes in anxiety and depression levels over 24 weeks, as reported by participants through questionnaires. The study is currently recruiting 32 physicians or advanced practice providers (APPs) employed by the Medical Group. If you are a physician or APP and are willing to receive two text messages per week, you might be eligible to participate.", "design": "This interventional study involves 32 participants, divided into two groups, one receiving the VR mindfulness intervention and one serving as a control group.", "commitments": "Participants will complete questionnaires at the start, after 12 weeks, and again after another 12 weeks. Those in the intervention group will also receive twice-weekly reminders to use the VR program for 12 weeks.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for a total of 24 weeks after their baseline measurements.", }
