Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
SMART-3RP Group Intervention
Residents will participate in 9 structured weekly group sessions which incorporates stress management and relaxation training upon enrollment.
SMART-3RP Group Intervention
Nine 1.5 hour group sessions focusing on developing:
1. An understanding of stress physiology and the physiology of the relaxation response;
2. A regular practice of eliciting the relaxation response; and
3. Cognitive behavioral and positive psychology/resilience skills.
Participants receive a copy of the SMART-3RP session manual and audio recorded guided meditations for independent relaxation practice. Participants are encouraged to practice eliciting the relaxation response daily throughout the study, using the audio recordings or other mind body techniques. Participants will use a practice log to track their practice.
Waitlist Control Group Intervention
Residents will participate in 9 structured weekly group sessions which incorporates stress management and relaxation training after the final survey time point.
SMART-3RP Group Intervention
Nine 1.5 hour group sessions focusing on developing:
1. An understanding of stress physiology and the physiology of the relaxation response;
2. A regular practice of eliciting the relaxation response; and
3. Cognitive behavioral and positive psychology/resilience skills.
Participants receive a copy of the SMART-3RP session manual and audio recorded guided meditations for independent relaxation practice. Participants are encouraged to practice eliciting the relaxation response daily throughout the study, using the audio recordings or other mind body techniques. Participants will use a practice log to track their practice.
