About this study
An eight week mindfulness training for physicians in a community hospital setting, largely administered through web-casts, will decrease stress and burnout, increase job satisfaction, and develop lasting mindfulness skills in the participants.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a video-module based mindfulness pilot program on the stress, well-being, and mindfulness skills of physicians in a community hospital setting. We administered an eight-week mindfulness training in October/November of 2013, offered as part of a wellness initiative for medical staff in a suburban community hospital in Puyallup, Washington. Participants enrolled on a first-come, first-serve basis, engaging in three 90-minute in person trainings, weekly online video-module trainings, and weekly teleconference coaching calls. Video-module trainings were available at all times, to be accessed at the participants' convenience. Journals and a guided meditation audio library were also provided. Physician stress, well-being (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of patients, sense of personal accomplishment), and mindfulness skills (observing, describing, acting with awareness, accepting without judgment) were evaluated at baseline, end-of-program, and eight weeks post-intervention using well-validated instruments. Risks to participants were minimal, including only the possibility of a strong emotional response to personal work undertaken by participants during the course of the study. The project was funded by MultiCare Health System.
