Nurse and Physician Stress Reduction: Learning Receptive Awareness Via EEG Feedback

Two 12-minute learning sessions will be conducted for each learning day. Separate instructions will be provided before session 1 and before session 2 to facilitate receptive awareness. The participant is seated in front of a BIS monitor and learns that the BIS number will decrease when in a state of receptive awareness. The trainee will learn to use attentional flexibility in daily activities and adopt willful attention (focal concentration) alternatively with receptive awareness (relaxed attention), as a situation dictates.
