The purpose of the research is to understand if mindfulness team training can improve the well-being and teamwork in caring for oncology patients. This study will enroll healthcare professionals in oncology teams, including clinic nurses, nurse managers, medical assistants, social workers, technicians, patient navigators, advanced practice providers, and physicians at UW Madison. Participants will be on study for up to approximately 6 months.
Aim 1: Determine the effect of resilience training on team resilience and well-being. The investigators test the hypothesis that resilience training provided to interprofessional oncology care teams will improve team resilience and individual well-being. Aim 2: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of a resilience training on team resilience. The investigators test the hypothesis that resilience training is feasible and acceptable in interprofessional oncology care teams.
