简要总结
The goal of this randomized control trial is to learn if regular administration of the Mindful Self Care Scale (MSCS) will improve graduate occupational therapy student overall psychological well being. It will also learn about specific coping skills students use, when, and how they use these.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
(1) Does completing regular self-care assessments improve students' overall psychological distress, resilience, or perceived social support state anxiety for the experimental group?
2) To describe the experience of being prompted to reflect on coping behaviors during school including specific skills students use, when and how they use these.
Researchers will compare regular administration of the MSCS every 3 weeks for 6 administrations to a control group who answered two generalized well being questions at the same interval.
Participants will:
Take the MSCS or a generalized 2 question survey every 3 weeks for a total of 6 surveys.
A maximum of 20 intervention group participants will self-select to participate in a focus group upon completion of quantitative data collection.

入选标准
- •18+ years old
- •Be enrolled in the MSOT or OTD programs at CSUDH and an active full-time student taking didactic courses.
排除标准
- •The investigators are excluding 17 and younger due to no one that young being in our program and them being minors.
- •The investigators are excluding part-time students due to the different stress experience that they would have compared to full-time students (due to the heavy academic load).
- •The investigators are excluding students from other OT programs due to complications with multiple IRBs and are piloting this study here first.
- •The investigators are excluding students from other graduate programs at CSUDH due to the unique program design and high number of units required in this cohorted program.
- •The investigators are excluding fieldwork 2 students because they are not taking the heavy didactic unit load and are off campus during these terms.
