“…Overall, the open-ended results of our study complement the findings of the original survey by Schommer et al (2020), 34 underscoring the importance of addressing common stressors and providing organisational support and opportunities for professional development to enhance the satisfaction and well-being of pharmacy interns and pharmacists. 61 Pharmacy interns mentioning ‘helping patients’ most frequently as giving them fulfilment seems congruent with their relatively high empathy levels. Additional themes, centred on the COVID-19 pandemic, ITP requirements, and feelings of inadequacy and inexperience among pharmacy interns.…”

Background Levels of stress and burnout continue to rise amongst healthcare workers. In addition to systemic and institution-level changes to healthcare practice environments, well-being interventions, resources, and support to assist healthcare providers are necessary. Meditation practices like Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM) may provide benefits to healthcare workers, but healthcare worker experiences with HRM are not well understood. Objective To explore healthcare worker experiences with HRM using a journey mapping approach. Methods An exploratory cross-sectional online survey was administered between May and July of 2020 to a purposeful sample of 25 healthcare workers currently practicing HRM. Surveys consisted of 5 open-ended and 36 multiple-choice items mapped to five journey mapping domains: Discover, Search, Assess, Decide, Assist. Descriptive statistics for survey items were generated in addition to a visual representation of a Persona and associated journey map for HRM. Content analysis was performed on open-ended responses using a general inductive approach to code responses and identify representative quotes. Results Twenty surveys were completed for a response rate of 80%. The majority of respondents identified as women (n = 14). From the journey mapping output, the overall emotional experience score was an 8.2/10, suggesting respondents had positive experiences with HRM. Open-ended comments suggest that HRM provides important benefits to the personal and professional lives of healthcare workers. A small number of participants reported challenges like feeling difficult emotions during HRM practice. Conclusion Mapping the healthcare worker journey with HRM identified generally positive experiences with personal and professional benefits. While experiences were largely positive, HRM elicited difficult emotions from some individuals, suggesting that appropriate resources and support are required when considering HRM and other meditation forms.
