Arm Description

Participants will engage with MBSR instructional videos. The videos are 30 minutes in length, and designed to be watched once a day, Monday-through-Friday, over an eight-week period. Additionally, a coaching video of three minutes in length will be available to participants on Mondays. Participants will watch the videos and engage with the content and activities as prompted by the videos.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a quasi-experimental study that will examine whether mindfulness based stress reduction, adapted to an online learning management system, will reduce factors related to burnout in private practice licensed clinical social workers in New York State.
Detailed Description
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidenced based intervention utilized to reduce stress. In this study, MBSR is adapted as psychoeducational/instructional videos to be viewed on a learning management system by licensed clinical social workers in order to determine its efficacy in reducing symptoms related to burnout in licensed clinical social workers. The videos are 30 minutes in length, and designed to be watched once a day, Monday-through-Friday, over an eight-week period. Additionally, a coaching video of three minutes in length will be available to participants on Mondays. Participants will watch the videos and engage with the content and activities as prompted by the videos. Activities include guided meditations, guided mindfulness activities, such as body scans where participants notice the sensations they feel in various parts of their body, and relaxation exercises. Participants will also be asked to complete light exercises to their comfort level, which involves getting comfortable, light self-guided stretching, and relaxation exercises that are no more physical exertion than they otherwise might experience while moving around completing their normal tasks/activities of daily living outside of this program. Participants will complete a pre-test involving two validated measures, and several Likert scale, non-validated questions, and demographic questions, and a post-test, involving the same two validated measures in the pre-test (in order to determine if a statistically significant change in stress reduction has occurred) as well as completing several non-validated Likert scaling questions, and qualitative questions to determine participant's attitudes and beliefs as it relates to their participation in this research project, and their overall impression of the project elements.
