The Body in Mind: Understanding Cognitive Processes (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy)

Product Information

MBM courses have been evaluated in studies using various self-reported quantitative scores, qualitative surveys, and stress biomarkers. While it was generally found to reduce stress and promote empathy, self-care, and well-being [ 1, 13, 14, 22, 23, 29, 33], results for respective quantitative measures, such as the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), were not always consistent across studies [ 7, 13, 33].

The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health

Meanwhile, a rising interest in student welfare has sparked an increase in mental health resilience interventions [ 32]. The Mind-Body-Medicine (MBM) course was developed by Dr. Aviat Haramati and Nanci Hadzouk at Georgetown University of Medicine (GUSOM) to facilitate medical students’ self-care ability by promoting self-awareness and resilience. MBM belongs to the wider field of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM). It “focuses on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health” [ 9]. MBM also aims to foster engagement with integrative medicine perspectives on health and healthcare [ 3]. Bullinger M, Kirchberger I, Ware J. Der deutsche SF-36 Health Survey Übersetzung und psychometrische Testung eines krankheitsübergreifenden Instruments zur Erfassung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität. Zeitschrift für Gesundheitswissenschaften. J Public Health. 1995;3(1):21. Quantitative outcomes showed decreases in perceived stress and increased self-efficacy, mindfulness, self-reflection, and empathy. In focus groups, students reported greater abilities to self-regulate stressful experiences, personal growth and new insights into integrative medicine. Triangulation grounded these effects of MBM practice in its social context, creating an interdependent dynamic between experiences of self and others.Simply to have two professors sitting here, who opened up [to us] and who also experienced stressful days—that helped me sometimes when I went to class and told myself, ‘ These people are experiencing the same thing on the other side’[even though] no one [at university] wants to admit what it’ s really like’.

(FGWS18.F3) Quantitative data were collected through printed and online questionnaires. Participants were asked to complete them before the first and after the last course session.

Our qualitative findings indicate that the effects of MBM intervention are deeply embedded in the social framework, discourse, and perspective of its practitioners. Consequently, MBM interventions not only affect measurable outcomes, such as mindfulness, perceived stress, and empathy, but may also influence how students relate to themselves and others, the medical field, and their role as doctors. This supports previous qualitative research conducted by Saunders et al. (2017) at GUSOM, who reported meaningful social connections, self-discovery, and an increased valuing of the doctor-patient relationship as central themes of their study. In this study, data triangulation located a central dynamic of these findings in a reciprocative process between self and the other (see Fig. 1) fostered by meaningful encounters between individual participants and the group.

Dyrbye LN, Harper W, Durning SJ, et al. Patterns of distress in US medical students. Med Teach. 2011;33(10):834–9. Our results support those of previous studies on MBM programs for medical students at both American and European universities, which used either PSS [ 14, 20], distress tolerance [ 22], or salivary cortisol levels [ 23] to measure stress reduction. While decreased stress and increased self-care were also among the main results of qualitative MBM course evaluations [ 13, 14, 29], other quantitative studies could not replicate these effects on stress reduction using the PSS [ 7, 13, 33].
