Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this trial is to compare self-reported resilience scores in junior physicians-in-training after completion of formal resilience training. The main questions this trial aims to answer are:

  • Does formal resilience training improve self-reported resilience scores?
  • Does the timing of resilience training (i.e., first vs second year of residency training) impact the effect of training? All participants will be provided with resources on resilience and learner support as per usual institutional practice. The intervention group will also participate in a formal resilience training program.

Researchers will compare self-reported resilience scores 3 months after training to determine the effect of the training program.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: STRIVE Group

STRIVE is comprised of a 4-hour formal education session where participants are provided knowledge, skills, and resources specific to self-assessment for mental wellness and effective mindfulness strategies.

High-fidelity simulation sessions are utilised to reinforce and apply mindfulness techniques learned in the formal session. Clinical scenarios are designed to be challenging and stressful.

no intervention: Control

Residents randomized to the control group will receive information regarding resilience development as per the usual standard of communication. All new residents will receive contact details of physician wellness services available at Schulich School of Medicine \& Dentistry.

Interventions

STRIVE course delivery

STRIVE is adapted from the Road to Mental Readiness curriculum, developed by the Department of National Defence in Canada. It is comprised of a 4-hour formal education session where participants are provided knowledge, skills and resources specific to self-assessment for mental wellness and effective mindfulness strategies. High fidelity simulation sessions are then utilized to reinforce and apply mindfulness techniques learned in the formal session..

Primary outcome measure

  • To evaluate of the effect of formal resilience training using the STRIVE course on self-reported resilience at 3 months. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
