Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research is to develop a mobile app-based intervention to reduce burnout and improve well-being using human-centered design principles and stakeholder feedback.

Detailed Description

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

Recent studies of professional burnout among physicians have highlighted urology as a worrisome outlier: 39% of practicing urologists and 64% of urology residents reported high levels of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. Despite the known association of burnout with adverse clinical outcomes, psychological distress, and career dissatisfaction, rigorous studies of physician-focused interventions remain limited.

Pilot studies of well-being mobile applications (e.g. headspace ®) have demonstrated better outcomes compared to traditionally delivered mindfulness interventions (e.g. in-person guided meditation). Nevertheless, a rigorous assessment of the impact of an app-based intervention on burnout is needed.

Therefore, the present study will assess the effectivity of a mobile app-based intervention to reduce burnout among healthcare professionals.
