Resident Wellness Behaviors: relationship to stress, depression, and burnout.
Family medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Patricia Lebensohn, Sally Dodds, Rita Benn, Audrey J. Brooks, Michele Birch, Paula Cook, Craig Schneider, Selma Sroka, Dael Waxman, Victoria MaizesAbstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stress in medical education has been well documented, often with the primary focus on negative factors such as depression and burnout. Few studies have attempted to assess well-being mediating Behaviors. This study describes the relationship between Wellness Behaviors and measures of well-being at the start of family medicine residency. METHODS: Using an online questionnaire, first-year family medi cine residents (n=168) completed standardized measures exploring perceived stress, depression, satisfaction with life, and burnout. A lifestyle Wellness Behavior measure was developed for the study. RESULTS: Average reported perceived stress levels were consistent with ranges found for medical students and residents. Twenty-three percent of residents scored in a range consistent with depression risk. In terms of burnout risk, 13.7% scored in the high emotional exhaustion range and 23.8% in the high depersonalization range. Two thirds reported high life satisfaction. Higher depersonalization and less time in nurturing relationships were associated with greater likelihood of medication use for sleep, mood, and anxiety in females. Higher alcohol use was associated with increased levels of perceived stress, burnout, and depression. The two Wellness Behaviors most associated with higher well-being were restful sleep and exercise. CONCLUSIONS: At the start of residency, well-being measures are consistent with findings in medical school. Restful sleep and exercise were associated with more positive well-being. Future longitudinal data analysis will help clarify the effect of residency training in well-being and lifestyle Behaviors. Identification of protective factors and coping mechanisms could guide residencies in incorporating support services for residents.

Use of body-mind-spirit dimensions for the development of a Wellness Behavior and characteristic inventory for college students.
Health promotion practice, 2006Co-Authors: William Hey, Kristine S. Calderon, Holly CarrollAbstract:The purpose of this study was to use a body-mind-spirit model to measure Wellness Behaviors and characteristics and develop the Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness Behavior and Characteristic Inventory (BMS-WBCI) for college students. The first study of this two-part project included item generation and factor analysis using 1,000 college students with average loadings of .64, .51, and .58 for the Spirit, Mind, and Body factors, respectively. Using a minimum 4.0 Eigenvalue criterion, the factors accounted for 30% of item variance. The second study phase included validity testing using TestWell (college version), a meal screener, and construct physical activity question with 141 students. The BMS-WBCI dimensions had high, positive correlations with all appropriate TestWell subscales. The Body dimension significantly correlated with the By-Meal Screener and physical activity question. Factor split-half reliabilities ranged from .73 to .84 and alpha coefficients ranged from .75 to .92. Implications and utilization of the BMSWBCI for college students are discussed.

The Wellness Behavior interaction model
International Journal of Stress Management, 1997Co-Authors: John G. Carlson, Rosanne C. Harrigan, Zoe C. M. SeeleyAbstract:A cognitive-Behavioral model for conceptualizing Wellness is proposed consisting of situational/antecedent variables, person variables, and consequence variables which, taken individually or together, may serve to describe and explain Wellness Behavior. The model also is interactional in the sense that different categories of variables or factors within a category may impact on each other in a multidirectional fashion. A selective review of research relating to each variable is provided to demonstrate the need for such a multidimensional conceptual scheme for Wellness.
