Elevated levels of stress have been associated with unfavorable occupational, patient, and provider-related outcomes, imposing a heavy burden on a strained system. Given the impact of stress on both employee and patient health, effective interventions are urgently needed to reduce distress and promote well-being among healthcare professionals. Mindfulness-based interventions show promise for addressing these challenges. We developed a six-week, remotely delivered mindfulness intervention, the Building Emotional Strength Training (BEST) program, based on the Buddhist Four Immeasurables practice to cultivate the distinct emotional qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a Four Immeasurables-based mindfulness intervention on perceived stress (primary outcome), burnout, depressive symptoms, and inflammatory biomarkers, while enhancing psychological well-being and sleep quality (secondary outcomes) in physicians. We will also investigate potential mediators of intervention effects, including compassion, positive affect, equanimity, and mindfulness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We will enroll 90 full-time physicians in a remote, two-arm randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation to either the meditation intervention or waitlist control. Participants will complete self-report questionnaires and provide blood samples at baseline, mid-course, and post-intervention to assess outcomes and mediators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The project aims to advance the study of mindfulness-based interventions that reduce distress and promote well-being through practices that cultivate prosocial and altruistic feelings toward oneself and others. While mindfulness interventions have gained considerable interest, none have specifically drawn from the Four Immeasurables practice to target loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. This novel investigation could expand our understanding of practices that foster kindness and compassion to reduce distress in an at-risk population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      ClinicalTrials.gov\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT07283744\" xlink:type=\"simple\">NCT07283744<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      , registered on 2025\/10\/14.
