The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of a short, smartphone-based mindfulness application on stress, wellbeing and burnout among hospital physicians
Physicians working at a tertiary hospital were recruited and randomly divided into two groups, a study group (SG) in which participants practiced mindfulness through the application for 6 weeks and a control group (CG). Main Measures: All participants filled-out questionnaires assessing stress (Perceived Stress Scale-PSS), mental health (Mental Health Inventory-MHI) and burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory-MBI) at baseline and 7 weeks later
Inclusion Criteria:
* Physicians Working full-time at the Rambam Healthcare Campus.
Exclusion Criteria:
