Brief Summary

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

In 1982, Steven Hayes, a clinical psychologist, developed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. In 1954, John Lilly, a cognitive neuroscientist, developed the sensory deprivation tank (known today as Floatation Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy - Float REST), to access a wide range of healing, higher brain functions, and meditation through an unparalleled deep relaxation state. In this study, the investigators aim to examine whether participants in the ACT + Float REST condition will have larger decreases of the burnout phenomenon than those who receive either only ACT or Float REST.

Study Groups

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

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

An ACT session entails a mindfulness-based training to foster and nurture effective behavioral and emotional responding to distress.

Float REST

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Float REST

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A float session entails laying supine in a light-proof, sound-proof tank consisting of a shallow pool of water (approximately 10 inches set to approximately 94.5 degrees to match skin temperature) with a high concentration of Epsom salt (approximately 1200 pounds) for 60 minutes.

ACT + Float REST

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ACT + Float REST

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The combined intervention will combine ACT and Float REST. An ACT session entails a mindfulness-based training to foster and nurture effective behavioral and emotional responding to distress. A float session entails laying supine in a light-proof, sound-proof tank consisting of a shallow pool of water (approximately 10 inches set to approximately 94.5 degrees to match skin temperature) with a high concentration of Epsom salt (approximately 1200 pounds) for 60 minutes.
