Summary

This study tests whether taking short, video-guided yoga or square breathing breaks can reduce burnout among emergency department workers. Seventy-five nurses, doctors, and other staff will be able to take these 15-minute breaks as often as they like for 12 months. The main goal is to see if burnout rates drop after 6 months.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for hospitals to help caregivers manage stress and reduce burnout.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 75 participants, and the intervention is self-directed, so adherence may vary. Results may not apply to all healthcare settings.
