简要总结
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mind-body medicine training program on parole services staff. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Will participation in the training increase resilience; empathy; the belief that one can cope with difficult situations; and decrease symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and burnout?
- What is the personal and professional impact of the training program?
Sixty staff members of the Indiana Department of Correction Parole Services Division will do the following:
- Attend an initial 4-day mind-body medicine training. Mind-body techniques taught in the training include: meditation; a breathing exercise; biofeedback; guided imagery; expressing oneself through drawings and writing; movement to reduce stress; and family trees to explore family dynamics.
- Attend a 2-day practicum. The 2-day practicum will teach staff the ways in which they can share the skills they have learned one-on-one with parolees and families of parolees.
- Attend 4 biweekly sessions of 2-hour group consultation sessions. The consultations will support the use of the mind-body skills with the parolees.
Participants will also do the following:
- Fill out standardized questionnaires online before and after the training program in order to measure changes in resilience; empathy; the belief that one can cope with difficult situations; and symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and burnout.
- Fill out an additional online questionnaire three months after the consultation sessions to determine how trainees are using the mind-body skills in their work.
- Participate in an online group interview to determine how trainees are using the skills and how the training has affected them personally and professionally.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline on Resilience assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session
时间窗: Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session
Resilience will be measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The CD-RISC consists of 25 questions that are rated on a 5-point scale, with higher scores representing greater resilience. Change = (Score after the 4-day training) minus (Baseline score); (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Score after the 4-day training); and (Score 3 months after the last group consultation session) minus (Baseline score)
次要结局
- Change from Baseline on Coping Self-efficacy assessed using the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE scale) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session(Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session)
- Change from Baseline on Empathy will be assessed using the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation(Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session)
- Change from Baseline on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session(Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session)
- Change from Baseline Burnout using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) after the 4-day training and 3 months after the last group consultation session(Baseline, after the 4-day training, and 3 months after the last group consultation session)
