Can a mindfulness based intervention reduce stress and burnout amongst UK RDs?
Researchers will compare participants who attend a structured mindfulness based intervention with a waitlist control group to see if there is a difference in outcome measures between the groups before the intervention, immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after.
Participants in the intervention group will be invited to an online mindfulness course that was written especially for this study. Participants in both groups will be asked to complete surveys before the intervention, immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after. Participants in the intervention group will also be invited to participate in a one to one interview to discuss their experiences, barriers and facilitators to mindfulness in dietetic practice.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Resilience
Measured using validated tool: Brief Resilience Scale. Scores range from 1-5. Higher scores = higher level of resilience. 1.00-2.99= Low resilience; 3.00-4.30 = Normal resilience; 4.31-5.00= High resilience.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after intervention (at the end of the last session of the 4 week intervention), 3 months post intervention, 6 months post intervention
Secondary outcomes (2)
Burnout
Measured using validated tool: Maslach Burnout Inventory, which has 3 domains which have the following scoring:
Emotional Exhaustion (EE): </=17 low/more favourable; 18-29 moderate; >/= 30 high / least favourable Depersonalisation (DP): </=5 low/ more favourable; 6-11moderate; >/=12 high / least favourable Personal Accomplishment (PA): </=33 low / least favourable; 34-39moderate; </=40 high / most favourable
Measured: Baseline, immediately post (this survey is administered at the end of the 4th and final session of the intervention, which was week 4), 3 months post, 6 months post intervention
Stress
Measured using validated tool: Perceived Stress Scale - scores range from 0-40 with higher scores indicating higher levels of perceived stress.
Measured: Baseline, immediately post intervention (this survey was given at the end of the 4th and final session of the intervention), 3 months post intervention, 6 months post intervention
