Detailed Description

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

Training programs are usually very rigorous, caring for patients is stressful, and those who care for others often feel that they can't or shouldn't admit that they need care themselves. Unfortunately, there is often a stigma associated with mental illness, and trainees may feel that admitting that they struggle could damage their careers. The need exists for easily accessible, immediate, crisis support for medical trainees who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Although the effectiveness of mental health apps has been evaluated in college students, there is very little data assessing their use in medical and nurse anesthesia students. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a mental wellness app on the mental wellness of medical and nurse anesthesia students.
