Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a model of mindfulness and neurofeedback among physicians and nurses. Several hypotheses will be tested: 1) BIS values will decrease as the number of sessions increase, 2) wellbeing scores will increase as the number of learning sessions increase, 3) wellbeing scores will be associated with BIS values, and 4) different attentional states will have more or less influence on reducing the BIS value.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Receptive Awareness Training

Two 12-minute learning sessions will be conducted for each learning day. Separate instructions will be provided before session 1 and before session 2 to facilitate receptive awareness. The participant is seated in front of a BIS monitor and learns that the BIS number will decrease when in a state of receptive awareness. The trainee will learn to use attentional flexibility in daily activities and adopt willful attention (focal concentration) alternatively with receptive awareness (relaxed attention), as a situation dictates.
