• Registration Number: NCT03918083
• Lead Sponsor: Orange Park Medical Center

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and feasibility of an integrated, prescriptive, and trackable wellness intervention amongst resident physicians combining five wellness elements including exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition.

Detailed Description

Data from the initial pilot of Wild 5 Wellness data reported at the Annual US Psychiatric Congress Meeting demonstrated positive results with their 30-day intervention: This study uses compelling proof that even a non-medication, self-directed, low cost 30-day intervention, focusing on mental wellness offers clinically significant help with mood, anxiety, mindfulness, sleep, social connectivity, and emotional eating (Jain et al., 2015)

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and feasibility of an integrated, prescriptive, and trackable wellness intervention amongst residents at Orange Park Medical Center (OPMC) by combining five wellness elements including: exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition.

Data will be collected to evaluate participants' adherence and response to a 5-pronged 30-day wellness intervention. It is expected that this 30-day integrated, prescriptive, and trackable program will be found to be an efficacious wellness intervention among residents at OPMC.

To the best of our knowledge, even though there is abundant research supporting each of the WILD 5 Wellness elements (exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition) individually, there is no research exploring the effectiveness of an integrated, prescriptive, and trackable wellness intervention combining these five elements. Therefore, this work will be unique in that it will collect both objective and subjective data to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of this type of wellness intervention. It will lend support to the growing body of research on the efficacy of wellness interventions for a variety of different health conditions, as well as a residency-based population. Finally, it is hoped that positive results will yield increased access to and utilization of this type of intervention, thereby improving resident wellness.
