- 소개/요약objectives: It is well documented, from studies around the world, that medical residency training is generally stressful. Research has mainly focused on the negative mediating factors that contribute to the high stress level of residents. In recent years, research has shifted toward understanding the protective factors that mediate stress and promote well-being. Mindfulness, a state of mind characterized by focus, awareness, and attention to and acceptance of one's experiences in the present moment, has become an increasingly popular topic in stress management. The current study aims to examine the stress levels, depressive symptoms, and well-being reported by medical residents in Saudi Arabia and the association between these variables and a self-report measure of mindfulness. Methods: All residents enrolled in a Residency Program in one hospital in Riyadh city were asked to complete an online survey. The survey includes four self-report measures that assess stress, depressive symptoms, well-being, and mindfulness. Results: Of the 60 medical residents who were contacted, only 33 completed the online survey. The results of this survey revealed high levels of stress and depressive symptoms among the sample. Mindfulness was also found to be associated with positive outcomes, including lower perceived stress and depressive symptoms and enhanced well-being.
