Summary

This study tests whether structured breathing exercises can reduce burnout, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems in healthcare workers. Forty professionals from four Mayo Clinic sites will use a mobile app for breathing sessions of 15 to 36 minutes. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structured breathing exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help healthcare workers manage stress and burnout.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants. It focuses on whether the program is practical, not on proving it works. Results may not apply to all workers.
