Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
6 months of virtual, team-based exercise
|
Participants will be randomized onto mixed teams of medical students, residents, fellows, and attendings and registered for the virtual, team-based exercise intervention on FitRankings.com.
All exercise (including walking, biking, lifting, yoga, and 40+ exercises) will be tracked via user's smartwatches (ie Apple, Garmin), smartphone fitness apps (ie MapMyRun), or manual upload, converted into Metabolic Equivalent of a Task (MET) minutes, and displayed on online leaderboards.
Group activities will be encouraged by awarding raffle tickets for prizes to those who submit pictures with their teammates.

Other: Control
3 months of usual exercise and then 3 months of virtual, team-based exercise

Change from Baseline Burnout at 3 months
Time Frame: 0 and 3 months
|
Measured via the 2-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) The MBI is a 22-item survey that covers 3 areas: Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and low sense of Personal Accomplishment (PA). Each subscale includes multiple questions with frequency rating choices of Never, A few times a year or less, Once a month or less, A few times a month, Once a week, A few times a week, or Every day. The use of 2 single items from the MBI may also be used. Item 8 ("I feel burned out from my work",) and item 10 ("I have become more callous toward people since I took this job") correlate strongly with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscale scores and concurrent validity has been demonstrated (J Gen Intern Med 2012;27:1445-52. J Gen Inter Med 2009;24:1318-21.) Individuals meet burnout criteria if they have high scores on either the EE (total score of 27 or higher) or DP (total score of 10 or higher) subscales. |

Change from Baseline Sense of Community at 3 months
Time Frame: 0 and 3 months
|
Measured via the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index The Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) is a 16-item survey that covers burnout (work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement) and professional fulfillment. Response options are on a five-point Likert scale ("not at all true" to "completely true" for professional fulfillment items and "not at all" to "extremely" for work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement items.) Items are scored 0 to 4. Each dimension is treated as a continuous variable. Scale scores are calculated by averaging the item scores of all the items within the corresponding scale. Scale scores can then be multiplied by 25 to create a scale range from 0 to 100. Higher score on the professional fulfillment scale is more favorable while higher scores on the work exhaustion or interpersonal disengagement scales are less favorable. |

Measured via unvalidated survey "How many meaningful relationships would you say you have with [medical students, residents/fellows, attendings]? A meaningful relationship could include any of the following: a) someone you'd get coffee/meal with, b) someone you'd be comfortable talking about career/life advice, c) someone you would be comfortable catching up with, etc." |

Change from Baseline Burnout (Mayo) at 3 months
Time Frame: 0 and 3 months
|
Measured via the Mayo Wellbeing Index The Mayo Wellbeing Index aims to identify distress in a variety of dimensions (burnout, fatigue, low mental/physical quality of life, depression, anxiety/stress). It has separate medical student, resident/fellow, and physicians versions and is a 7-item instrument with yes/no response categories. A total score is calculated by adding the number of 'yes' responses. In a sample of physicians, medical students, and US workers, every one point increase in score resulted in a step-wise increased probability of distress and risk for adverse personal and professional consequence. Score range is 0 to 7, and threshold score to identify individuals in distress is 4 or higher for medical students, 5 or higher for residents, 4 or higher for practicing physicians, and 2 or higher for other US workers. |
