Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether the SMART-R is effective at increasing coping skills and reducing stress among residents, reflected by changes in constructs such as emotional growth, perceived stress, optimism, and coping styles. Objective parameters (heart rate, galvanized skin response, sleep duration and quality, exercise and actigraphy) measured with the Basis health tracking device will help correlate objective signs to subjective report of stress.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In a waitlist-control design, the SMART-R was implemented into multiple residents programs at Mass General Hospital, NYU Langone Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medical College. The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SMART-R in increasing coping skills and reducing stress among residents in the participating programs. Participants enrolled will be invited to complete 1) a brief questionnaire before, during (q3months) and after participation in the program (5 questionnaires total). The investigators will also collect continuous physiologic data using the Basis Peak Health Tracking device to correlate the physiologic data with self-report measures of stress.
Additionally, objective indicators of daily workload (page frequency, and quantity of notes authored by a resident during a given period) will help control for residents' schedules and busyness, in evaluating perceived stress, wellbeing and other outcomes.

Intervention
Stress Management and Resiliency Training for Residents (SMART-R)
Stress Management and Resiliency Training for Residents (SMART-R)
The Stress Management and Resiliency Training Program for residents (SMART-R) is a six-hour intervention delivered over 2 or 3 sessions that teaches residents mind-body skills to reduce stress and enhance coping strategies.
Waitlist Control
The control group will receive the same intervention (SMART-R) after the experimental group.
Stress Management and Resiliency Training for Residents (SMART-R)
The Stress Management and Resiliency Training Program for residents (SMART-R) is a six-hour intervention delivered over 2 or 3 sessions that teaches residents mind-body skills to reduce stress and enhance coping strategies.
