Overall
Included criteria: inclusion criteria were (a) employed as a primary care physician by Providence Medical Group (PMG), (b) working at least 30% time in direct patient care, (c) aged between 25 and 75 years, (d) willing to be randomised to the intervention or wait list control group, and (e) no prior participation in the same MBI offered at PMG. Excluded criteria: NR Pretreatment: there were no significant differences between the intervention (n = 17) and wait list control (n = 16) group on any demographic variables (all P > 0.05). Compliance rate: 1/15 (6.7%) did not receive the intervention Response rate: NR Type of healthcare worker: exclusively primary care physicians |

Notes | PSS included in analysis 1.1. | |
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: "After completing the baseline measures, participants were randomized 1:1 into the intervention or a waitlist control." Sequence generation process insufficiently described. |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: "After completing the baseline measures, participants were randomized 1:1 into the intervention or a waitlist control." Difficult to judge whether participants and/or investigators could possibly foresee assignment |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded whereas outcomes are self‐reported. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | 4 of the 33 (12%) randomised participants included in the analyses. Not reported whether loss to follow‐up was at random. However loss to follow‐up is below our pre‐defined cut‐off point. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Trial Registration Not applicable, because this article does not contain any clinical trials." No trial registration or no study protocol reported. No indication of selective reporting. |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Quote: "Potential participants were recruited via email for 3 weeks prior to the first MBI group (January 2015). Participants responded to the recruitment email by directing their browser to the study website, which was housed on Qualtrics, a secure web‐based survey system." Not able to assess response rate. |
