Abstract

Introduction: Medical student well-being is a major problem. The authors aimed to assess well-being outcomes 6-months after a novel extracurricular shared meal and resiliency course.

Methods: We implemented the course during 3 academic years (2018-2020). Participants received surveys assessing resilience, perspective-taking, self-compassion, and empathy at 4 timepoints. We used linear mixed effects models to assess changes from baseline to post-course assessments for the 3-year aggregate and pre-COVID and early-COVID time periods.

Results: One week and 6 months post-course, resilience, perspective-taking, and self-compassion scores improved (P < 0.01). Notably, resilience changed significantly only during early-COVID (P < 0.01), not pre-COVID (P = 0.16). For scores with evidence-based interpretation cut-offs, no clinical changes occurred.

Discussion: Several well-being measures statistically improved post-course but did not change clinically. Qualitative studies may better capture meaningful well-being outcome impact.

医学生在新的共享膳食和恢复能力技能课程后的幸福感。

引言：医学生的幸福感是一个主要问题。作者旨在评估一项新颖的课外共享膳食和弹性课程后6个月的幸福感结果。方法：我们在三个学年（2018-2020）实施了该课程。参与者在4个时间点接受了评估韧性、视角、自我同情和同理心的调查。我们使用线性混合效应模型来评估3年总时间段、新冠肺炎前和新冠肺炎早期从基线到疗程后评估的变化。结果：课程结束后1周和6个月，恢复力、视角和自我同情得分均有改善（P P P = 0.16）。对于具有循证解释截止值的评分，没有发生临床变化。讨论：一些幸福感指标在治疗后有统计学上的改善，但在临床上没有变化。定性研究可以更好地捕捉有意义的幸福感结果影响。
