Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test an app-based mindfulness training program in reducing burnout in physicians and nurses.

Detailed Description

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

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

PRIMARY AIM: Determine if the app-based training reduces the level of cynicism (i.e., one of the two main dimensions of burnout).

SECONDARY AIM: Determine if the app-based training reduces the level of emotional exhaustion (i.e. one of the two main dimensions of burnout), anxiety, worry, depression and intolerance of uncertainty. Determine if the app-based training increases self-compassion, non-reactivity and non-judging about inner experiences.

Participants will be asked to:

* Use an app-based mindfulness training program
* Complete online surveys at baseline, immediately post-intervention and 1 month after the post-intervention as follow up
