Fostering Resilience: An Intervention for Women Physicians at Risk for Burnout

Physicians in general are at risk for burnout, and this risk is heightened among women,
particularly mothers. In a randomized design, central hypotheses in this study are that
mothers who attend our 12-week Relational Psychotherapy Mothers Group (RPMG) intervention
will show significantly greater decreases in stress, depression, burnout, and associated
risk biomarker indices, as compared to comparison controls (who would meet in unstructured
gatherings, for an hour a week for 12 weeks). Additionally the investigators hypothesize
that the gains would be maintained three months after the intervention is completed.


Inclusion of Women and Minorities:

- This study will be restricted to women physician mothers, who are the target of the
manualized RPMG program.

- The study will not use race or ethnicity as a basis for selecting subjects.

Inclusion of Children:

- This study does not include children.

Exclusion criteria

- Participation in this study is open to all Mayo physician mothers with a child under
the age of 18 years.

- As in past RPMG trials, the only exclusion criteria are if mothers were to indicate
active suicidality, or meet criteria for psychoses, during initial assessments or
during participation in this study.
