Brief Summary

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

This study will examine the effects of Isha Kriya meditation on stress and burnout among healthcare providers.

Detailed Description

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

In this study, investigators will evaluate the effect of Isha Kriya meditation on stress and burnout among perioperative healthcare providers. To do this, investigators will randomize healthy participants to one of two groups: one who will meditate twice daily for six weeks (group 1), and the other who will not meditate for first six weeks and then meditate for another six weeks (group 2). Investigators will then evaluate stress and burnout using validated electronic instruments at baseline and at six weeks for group 1 and at baseline, six weeks, and 12 weeks for group 2.

Group 1

Participants will be asked to complete Isha Kriya meditation twice daily for a total of six weeks in phase 1.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Isha Kriya Meditation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Isha Kriya (IK) meditation is a meditation that can be learned quickly and requires approximately 12 minutes, twice a day practice. This regimen was chosen because it excels in simplicity and is a great way to introduce meditation to beginners. It does not incorporate a spiritual or religious focus. It was developed by the Isha Institute of Inner Sciences, a nonprofit foundation located at McMinnville, Tennessee.

Group 2

Participants will be asked to refrain from meditating for the first 6 weeks (phase 1) and then asked to complete Isha Kriya meditation for another 6 weeks (phase 2)
