Physician Stress Reduction Trial Data from a French Hospital Study

64 hospital physicians participated in a randomized exploratory trial comparing a 15-minute guided meditative relaxation session to an unguided rest condition. The dataset includes physiological parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) and psychological measures (SPPN, QSCPGS, SRSI3_29) collected at baseline, immediately post-session, and a few hours later. The study was authored by Siddhiraj Banjac and published on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare physiological stress markers (blood pressure, heart rate) between intervention and control groups.
• Analyze psychological outcomes like stress scores, global satisfaction, and body satisfaction pre- and post-intervention.
• Evaluate participant satisfaction and qualitative feedback for a brief, structured mind-body intervention.
• Assess the internal consistency of psychological scales (Cronbach's α) used in a clinical trial setting.

Strengths

• Data from a complete randomized trial with 64 participants and no dropouts across three assessment stages.
• Includes both quantitative physiological measures and multiple validated psychological scales (SPPN, QSCPGS, SRSI3_29).
• Reported internal consistency for scales ranges from moderate to excellent (Cronbach's α 0.63–0.89).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The sample is predominantly female (79.7%), which may limit generalizability of findings.
