研究概览
简要总结
Burnout is common among medical students. Previous studies had shown that mindfulness based interventions may improve burnout and quality of life in medical students. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is one of the most often used mindfulness based interventions.
Medical students in the Chinese University of Hong Kong are invited to a MBCT on voluntary basis. They will be asked to fill in questionnaire that measures burnout, depression/anxiety, quality of life, and mindfulness at beginning and end of the MBCT. The pre-group and post-group data will be compared and analysed

研究组 & 干预措施
MBCT group
There is only 1 arm in the study.
The MBCT will be conducted according to the treatment manual. The program consists of eight weekly sessions. In between sessions, participants are advised to practice mindfulness meditations for 40-50 minutes every day.
The teachers of the program will teach on voluntary basis. The teachers must have attended the 1-year foundation course to teach mindfulness (available in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong), regular mindfulness practice and must have at least yearly mindfulness retreat. This is in accordance to the good practice guidelines developed in the UK for mindfulness teachers

结局指标
主要结局
Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)
时间窗: 8 weeks (before and after MBCT; after 8 weekly sessions)
The validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is a 22-item questionnaire that assesses three aspects of professional burnout syndrome which includes emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. It is widely used in research and has been widely used in studies about medical student well-being. In the scale, burnout is conceptualized as a continuous construct and participant is asked to rate their job related feelings using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "everyday". A high degree of burnout is defined as a respondent who scores low on the Personal Accomplishment subscale but high in the Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization subscales of the instrument
