Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Pilot Online Mindful Self-Compassion Intervention for Medical Students

The proposed presentation describes the pilot implementation and preliminary results of the Self-compassion, Yoga and Mindfulness for Burnout: Integrating Online Sessions and Interpersonal Support (SYMBIOSIS) program for 19 medical students. Mixed-methods results demonstrated strong feasibility and acceptability that were comparable to larger, well-funded programs. Repeated measures ANOVA (pre, post, follow-up) results from validated quantitative measures revealed significant improvements over time for burnout, perceived stress, self-compassion, and health promoting behaviors with effect sizes ranging from medium to very large. These promising results present a practical intervention development and implementation process that may significantly improve the biopsychosocial well-being of medical students.
