Design and implementation of a brief digital mindfulness and compassion training app for health care professionals: cluster randomized controlled trial

Background: Several studies show that intense work schedules make health care professionals particularly vulnerable to emotional exhaustion and burnout.
Objective: In this scenario, promoting self-compassion and mindfulness may be beneficial for well-being. Notably, scalable, digital app–based methods may have the potential to enhance self-compassion and mindfulness in health care professionals.
Methods: In this study, we designed and implemented a scalable, digital app–based, brief mindfulness and compassion training program called “WellMind” for health care professionals. A total of 22 adult participants completed up to 60 sessions of WellMind training, 5-10 minutes in duration each, over 3 months. Participants completed behavioral assessments measuring self-compassion and mindfulness at baseline (preintervention), 3 months (postintervention), and 6 months (follow-up). In order to control for practice effects on the repeat assessments and calculate effect sizes, we also studied a no-c..., Participants
A total of 43 human subjects participated in the study (mean age: 28.77 ± 4.13, range: 23-43 years, 20 males). All subjects were fluent in English. Each participant gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki before participating in the experiment. All the experimental procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board of University of California San Diego (UCSD) (protocol #180140). Participants were recruited from the UCSD School of Medicine during Spring 2021-Fall 2022 via email advertisements and campus flyers.
Participants provided demographic data with regards to age, gender and ethnicity. All participants were healthy adults, i.e., did not have any current medical diagnosis nor were taking any current psychotropic medications. Healthy status and affiliation to the UCSD School of Medicine were the only eligibility criteria.Participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) at time of screening; MBI scores did not reflect..., , The submitted dataset pertains to our manuscript entitled:
