Resilience Curriculum for Novice Physicians-in-training

To determine the feasibility of delivering a structured resilience curriculum to novice physicians-in-training, we propose a pilot study to evaluate recruitment rates, course attendance and compliance with follow-up surveys. If our study can demonstrate feasibility in course delivery, further engagement of postgraduate specialty programs will facilitate conduct of an appropriately powered randomised controlled trial.

Treatment and study plan

STRIVE curriculum

Behavioral

STRIVE is adapted from the Road to Mental Readiness curriculum, developed by the Department of National Defence in Canada. It is comprised of a 4-hour formal education session where participants are provided knowledge, skills and resources specific to self-assessment for mental wellness and effective mindfulness strategies. High fidelity simulation sessions are then utilized to reinforce and apply mindfulness techniques learned in the formal session.

Primary outcomes

  1. Participant Recruitment Potential

    Time frame: 9 months

  2. STRIVE Course Completion

    Time frame: 9 months

    Number of participants randomized to the intervention that complete the STRIVE course

  3. Follow-up Survey Compliance

    Time frame: 9 months

Other outcomes

  1. Self-Reported Resilience at 3 months

    Time frame: 9 months

    Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10). This is a briefer, 10 item version of the full Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The scale is 0 to 40 with a higher number representing higher resilience. This scale has been validated in a variety of populations and is a widely used research tool to assess resilience.
