Effect of a novel mindfulness curriculum on burnout during pediatric internship: a cluster randomized clinical trial.
This study examined the effectiveness of a monthly mindfulness curriculum (Mindfulness Intervention for New Interns) for medical interns on emotional exhaustion (EE) as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory 9-question EE subscale as well as secondary outcomes of depersonalization, personal accomplishment, and burnout. This was a randomized clinical trial of 340 pediatric interns participating in 15 US pediatric training programs from June 2017 to February 2019. The intervention included 7 hour-long sessions and a monthly mindfulness refresher implemented during internship. The active control arm also included monthly 1-hour social lunches. Follow-up was done at 6 months and at month 15. Both arms’ EE scores were higher at 6 and 15 months than at baseline, but EE did not significantly differ by arm in multivariable analyses. There were also no significant differences in the 6 secondary outcomes at month 6 or month 15.
