Background:

First responders experience high rates of mental health disorders like PTSD, often with reluctance to seek care.
Existing cognitive-focused resilience programs do not adequately address PTSD-related physical health conditions.
Mind-body exercise shows emerging potential for improving both PTSD and associated physical symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of a web-based mind-body tactical resilience training for first responders.
To explore the preliminary effectiveness of this training on mental health, cognitive strategies, and work productivity.

Main Methods:

42 U.S. first responders participated in a 6-week web-based training program.
Feasibility assessed by training hours and adherence; acceptability and usability by self-report.
Secondary outcomes included PTSD symptoms, psychological distress, emotion regulation, stress mindset, and work performance.

Main Results:

The program was feasible, with participants completing a median of 7.57 hours.
55% completed over half the program; acceptability and usability were rated high by respondents.
Significant improvement observed in the stress mindset (P=.002); other outcomes were not significant.

Conclusions:

Web-based mind-body resilience training is feasible and acceptable for first responders.
Refinements may be needed to enhance program adherence.
Larger trials are warranted to confirm the effectiveness of this training for prevention or treatment.
