Study summary

This study seeks to evaluate the prevalence and characterize predictors of physician burnout in the anesthesia residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The study also seeks to evaluate the effect of an exercise intervention on burnout and personal resiliency (i.e., less individual stress given the same workload).

Read the detailed description

A cross-sectional evaluation of burnout, perceived stress, average sleep propensity, and social support and coping mechanisms will be assessed from four years of Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) Anesthesia residents. Burnout will be assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS).

Participating interns, Anesthesia Residency Class 1 (CA-1), and Anesthesia Residency Class 2 (CA-2) classes will be randomized to 8 weeks of an exercise intervention (15 min of activity at 70% of max heart rate or higher, 5 days a week) to meet the activity recommendations of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion or 8 weeks of continuing their baseline activity level prior to the study.

Inclusion criteria

  • Vanderbilt University Medical Center Anesthesiology residents (Class 1(CA-1), Class 2 (CA-2)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Failure to sign
  • Will not be in town and available for the full duration of the study (e.g., 2 or more weeks of vacation or absence)
  • Physical inability to perform the exercise intervention (including health indications)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    The change in the Emotional Exhaustion (EE) burnout score(as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)from baseline to end of each exercise phase. MBI-HSS is a survey to measure burnout in professionals in human services. MBI-HSS EE score includes 9 items to evaluate emotional exhaustion (EE), with scores ranging from 0 to 6 on the Likert scale. MBI-HSS EE total score ranges from 0 to 54 points.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2018, 6 months.

Results were first posted in Apr 2020, 1 year 3 months after primary completion.

Of 128 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Burnout, Professional, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 22. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 132 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 14, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
