Summary
This pilot study will test whether a 6-week app-based mental fitness program can improve wellbeing and self-compassion in anesthesiology residents. Sixty residents will be randomly assigned to either the mental fitness app or a control app. The study mainly looks at whether residents will actually use the app and find it helpful, not at proving it works.
