What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Resilient Living ProgramBehavioural

    Participants will be given the journal Resilient Living with Dr. Sood: Building Strength for Difficult Days to use throughout the study. The initial session with one of the investigators will be an introduction and a review of Module 1: Gratitude, and will last 30-60min. Three follow-up sessions will occur approximately every two weeks and the participants should view the videos before those virtual meetings (Session 2 will review Module II: Mindful Presence; Session 3 will review Module III: Kindness; Session 4 will review Module IV: Resilient Mindset). The videos will take approximately 30 minutes each to review and virtual sessions will each take 30-60 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Perceived Stress

    Stress, as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The PSS has 14 items, 7 positively stated and 7 negatively stated. Likert-type 5-point scale. Positively stated items reverse coded; scores are summed; scores range 0-56. High score indicates greater stress level.

    Measured: Baseline; Week 5 (after 2nd session); Week 9 (after 4th session); Week 12 (one month after completing all sessions)

  2. Change in Anxiety

    Anxiety, as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). The GAD-7 has 7 items, about which the participant has felt bothered by in the prior two weeks. 0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, 3=nearly every day. Scores are summed; range 0-21. Score 0-4 minimal anxiety, 5-9 mild anxiety, 10-14 moderate anxiety, and 15-21 severe anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline; Week 5 (after 2nd session); Week 9 (after 4th session); Week 12 (one month after completing all sessions)
