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.
