The goal of this randomised control trial is to find out whether a mindfulness based intervention can improve mental well-being for Registered Dietitians (RD) in the UK. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can a mindfulness based intervention improve resilience amongst UK RDs?
Can a mindfulness based intervention reduce stress and burnout amongst UK RDs?
Researchers will compare participants who attend a structured mindfulness based intervention with a waitlist control group to see if there is a difference in outcome measures between the groups before the intervention, immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after.
Participants in the intervention group will be invited to an online mindfulness course that was written especially for this study. Participants in both groups will be asked to complete surveys before the intervention, immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after. Participants in the intervention group will also be invited to participate in a one to one interview to discuss their experiences, barriers and facilitators to mindfulness in dietetic practice.
