Investigating the efficacy of a two-week, online compassionate imagery intervention for improving mental wellbeing in veterinarians: A randomised controlled trial.This research project is investigating the effectiveness of a two-week, online compassionate imagery intervention at improving the mental wellbeing of veterinarians. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive the intervention immediately or after the study period has ended. Self-report questionnaires will be used to measure a range of psychological constructs, including resilience, perfectionism, self-compassion and work-related rumination. This randomised control trial builds on the promising results obtained by Wakelin's (2022) feasibility trial in the same population.
