| description | This pilot project was designed to (1) implement a mindfulness-based wellness curriculum for otolaryngology residents, (2) determine the impact of a mindfulness-based curriculum on resident mood, and (3) examine the use of mindfulness among otolaryngology residents. Otolaryngology residents participated in a 6-week course guided by the Headspace mindfulness mobile application. Resident use of mindfulness was measured by the validated Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Changes in mood before and after each session were assessed using the validated Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PNAS). Residents reported a statistically significant decrease in postsession negative affect scores ( P < .001). A moderate positive correlation was noted between mindfulness scores and presession positive mood (Pearson r = 0.597, P < .001). This pilot study supports the feasibility and impact of including mindfulness training as part of a resident wellness curriculum. |
