Headspace, a smartphone application that provides guided meditation, mindfulness and sleep exercises, will be used as the intervention in improving sleep, anxiety, depression and burnout in all participating individuals selected from the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson residents and fellows.
The intervention of of daily meditation with the Headspace application will be used to determine if this is a possible effective intervention for decreasing the feeling of burnout. It is being proposed that it could improve the subjects' well-being both in the short-term and long term. The primary outcomes will be burnout, anxiety, depression and sleep. This study will use the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess baseline burnout, as well as at 30 and 90 days post-intervention period. Sleep and anxiety and depression will be assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores at the same intervals.

| The Effects on Burnout | The intervention group will be asked to fill out the Maslachs Burnout Inventory (MBI) survey prior to intervention starting, 30 days after start of intervention and then again at 90 days after start of intervention). the MBI is a measure of three independent constructs - emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Lower scores will indicate less of an impact on those constructs. Higher scores indicate a stronger impact on those constructs. A score for emotional exhaustion includes anything <27, a low score is 0-18. For Depersonalisation a high score is anything >10 and a low score is 0-5. For Personal accomplishment a high score is 0-33 and low score is anything >40 | 30-90 days |
| The Effects on Sleep | The intervention group will be asked to fill out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale survey prior to intervention starting, 30 days after start of intervention and then again at 90 days after start of intervention). The scores will be analyzed to determine impact on sleep. Lower scores indicate a normal range of sleepiness, higher scores (18-24) will be indicative of severe sleepiness. Lower scores of 0-10 will be indicative of a normal range of sleepiness in healthy adults. | 30-90 days |
| The effects on Anxiety and Depression | The intervention group will be asked to fill out the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) questionnaire prior to intervention starting, 30 days after start of intervention and then again at 90 days after start of intervention. The scores will be analyzed to determine impact on anxiety and depression. Lower versus higher scores will be proportional to how much anxiety and depression that person is facing. A score of 0-4 is indicative of minimal anxiety and a score of > 15 is indicative of severe anxiety. | 30-90 days |
