Study Summary
Several studies have shown that self-valuation (also known as self-compassion) strongly predicts burnout in physicians. Although effective, existing self-compassion cultivation programs designed for physicians have significant time commitments and, historically, have had low physician participation rates. With occupational burnout among US physicians at an all-time high, there is a compelling and urgent need to identify pragmatic approaches to address low levels of self-valuation in physicians. This study aims to test the impact of a brief mindset intervention that frames daily food choices as an opportunity to demonstrate self-kindness on self-valuation and burnout in physicians over 6 weeks. Instilling a mindset shift that enables physicians to practice self-valuation as part of their existing, daily routine amidst extreme time pressures is a pragmatic and potentially powerful vehicle to promote self-valuation for physicians.
Primary Outcome
The 3-item self-kindness subscale of the Modified State Self-Compassion Measures: A validated construct developed by Kristin Neff, PhD in 2021. This assessment will be collected at baseline, week 3, and week 6. Instructions ask respondents to answer questions about their relevant experience "during the past 2 weeks." An example of an item is "I'm being kind to myself."; Scale items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale (Not at all true for me=1;Very true for me=5). The scale range is standardize
