Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study will develop and pilot a fourteen-day assessment tailored for the high-demand schedule of residents through a smart phone intervention, EmoTrak.EmoTrak uses ecological measurement assessment (EMA), which solicits real-time user feedback at various time points across a series of days or weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial that compares residents, using EmoTrak with a wait list control group. After two weeks, the active control group becomes the treatment group. All participants will be evaluated four times from at baseline to two months. The measures to explore for any pre and post change are stress reduction on the emotional exhaustion scale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and improved resilience on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment

The EMA intervention uses twice-a-day interactive questions for emotion tracking including type of emotion, intensity of emotion, trigger to emotion and response to emotion through an Iphone app designed for the study. The study users receive individualized feedback about their daily reporting of emotions, sleep and stress.The study tracking is for 14 days.
