Digital Well-Being Training With Health Care Professionals

Can a digital well-being training implemented at scale effectively reduce Mexican health care professional distress and increase well-being?This randomized clinical trial of 2315 health care professionals across 7 Mexican states found that participants assigned to digital well-being training reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in distress and increases in well-being that persisted at least 37 weeks postrandomization.These findings suggest that it is possible to modestly but meaningfully improve health care professional distress and well-being at scale, with potential benefits for patient care and health systems that require further study.
