Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary goal of this research is the analysis of the stress experience of participating medical students as a function of group assignment ( MediMind, Autogenic Training or control group). It is expected that the stress experience of the subjects in the group MediMind is significantly lower than in TAU or the control group. The evaluation will be based on an interaction-related stress concept (Schulz, Schlotz & Becker, 2004), in which stress as a non-match between requirements and resources that are available to a person. This is measured with the Trier Inventory of Chronic Stress (TICS). As a co-primary objective the influence of coping strategies, as described by Carver in 1989, the stress experience of participating medical students will be reviewed. MediMind and TAU both contain elements to improve these skills. It is expected that MediMind will also demonstrate a significant increase in the effectiveness in coping strategies compared to TAU and the control group. This is measured with the 'Brief COPE'. The examination times for the primary and co-primary target are: Baseline (T0), End of training (T1), One year follow-up (T2) and Five year follow-up (T3). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome is to determine the psychological morbidity of the participating medical students as a function of group assignment (MediMind, TAU or Control Group). It is expected that these effects will be visible only after reviewing the follow-up surveys, and that subjects of MediMind exhibit significantly lower morbidity compared to the other two groups. Measured with Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). The examination times for the secondary outcome are: Baseline (T0), End of training (T1), One year follow-up (T2) and Five year follow-up (T3). | — |
