5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is to evaluate the effects of the SMART-3RP (Stress Management and Resiliency Training Relaxation Response Resiliency Program) on physician and academic faculty well-being, perceived stress, burnout, compassion, and job satisfaction.
Detailed Description
Burnout is a serious problem in healthcare, resulting in absenteeism, decreased job satisfaction, decreased empathy, anxiety, depression, increased medical errors and decreased patient satisfaction. A growing number of studies have demonstrated that programs incorporating mind-body practices increase resilience in healthcare providers and can reduce burnout and perceived stress while increasing empathy. The Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine (BHI) has developed a clinical program for patients known as the Stress Management and Resiliency Training Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (SMART-3RP or SMART Program for short). This study is to evaluate the effect of the SMART-3RP on physician and academic faculty well-being, perceived stress, burnout, compassion, and job satisfaction.
