A Study of a Mental Fitness Intervention for Anesthesiology Resident Wellbeing and Self-Compassion

{ "Study of App-Based Mental Fitness for Anesthesiology Residents", "This study is looking at whether app-based wellness programs can help improve the well-being and self-compassion of anesthesiology residents. Researchers are testing a \"mental fitness intervention\" delivered through an app, which includes weekly video lessons and daily short exercises. This program aims to help residents recognize self-sabotaging thought patterns. They will compare this to another app-based wellness program that is similar in length and time commitment. The main goal is to see if these apps are practical for busy residents and if they can improve their well-being, burnout, anxiety, and depression. This is a small pilot study to see if a larger study would be helpful. You can join if you are an anesthesiology resident (PGY4) at Massachusetts General Hospital or Brigham and Women's Hospital, and you can also include a loved one.", "design": "This is an interventional pilot study with a planned enrollment of 60 participants. Researchers will compare two different app-based wellness programs.", "commitments": "Participants will complete one video-based lesson per week and brief daily practice exercises for six weeks. The study will follow participants for up to 12 weeks after enrollment.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for up to 12 weeks after enrollment to measure retention rate.", }
