Acute Effects of Online Mind-Body Skills Training on Resilience, Mindfulness, and Empathy
The authors of the following study evaluate effects of 1-hour online elective mind-body skills training for health professionals on mindfulness, resilience, and empathy. Most enrollees consisting of dietitians, nurses, physicians, social workers, clinical trainees, and health researchers met threshold criteria for burnout and reported moderate to high stress levels. The most popular modules were: Introduction to Stress, Resilience, and the Relaxation Response; Autogenic Training; Guided Imagery and Hypnosis for Pain, Insomnia, and Changing Habits; Introduction to Mindfulness; and Mindfulness in Daily Life. The findings illustrate significant short-term improvements in stress, mindfulness, empathy, and resilience. The authors posit that additional research comparing long-term cost-effectiveness of different doses of online and in-person mind-body skills training is warranted.
