OA13.01. Mind-Body Medicine Skills training for self-care and emotional well-being in medical students
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a Mind-Body Medicine program for enhancing self-care and well-being among first year medical students. Depression and anxiety are common among medical students (West et al, 2011) and physicians (Krasner et al, 2009). Further, distress among medical students is associated with poor patient care (Dyrbye et al, 2010; Krasner et al, 2009). Thus, prevention and self-care have become central to medical education. One approach to developing self-care competencies among medical students is through enhancing mind-body skills. At the GUMC, these skills are taught in a Mind-Body Skills (MBMS) program. The 11week MBMS program includes teaching of self-awareness, relaxation, meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback, physical exercise, art, music and movement. The program promotes self-care within a context of group support.
