Pre-COVID-19, doodling was identified as a measure of burnout in researchers attending a weekly, in-person health narratives research group manifesting team mindfulness. Under the group's supportive conditions, variations in doodling served to measure change in participants reported depression and anxiety-internal states directly associated with burnout, adversely affecting healthcare researchers, their employment, and their research. COVID-19 demanded social distancing during the group's 2020/21 academic meetings. Conducted online, the group's participants who chose to doodle did so alone during the pandemic. Whether the sequestering of group participants during COVID-19 altered the ability of doodling to act as a measure of depression and anxiety was investigated. Participants considered that doodling during the group's online meetings increased their enjoyment and attention level-some expressed that it helped them to relax. However, unlike face-to-face meetings during previous non-COVID-19 years, solitary doodling during online meetings was unable to reflect researchers' depression or anxiety. The COVID-19 limitations that necessitated doodling alone maintained the benefits group members saw in doodling but hampered the ability of doodling to act as a measure of burnout, in contrast to previous in-person doodling. This result is seen to correspond to one aspect of the group's change in team mindfulness resulting from COVID-19 constraints.
在新冠疫情之前，涂鸦被视为参加一个体现团队正念的每周面对面健康叙事研究小组的研究人员职业倦怠的一种衡量方式。在该小组的支持性条件下，涂鸦的变化用于衡量参与者报告的与职业倦怠直接相关的抑郁和焦虑等内在状态的变化，这些内在状态对医疗保健研究人员、他们的工作以及他们的研究产生了不利影响。新冠疫情要求该小组在2020/21学年会议期间保持社交距离。会议改为线上进行，该小组中选择涂鸦的参与者在疫情期间是独自进行涂鸦的。研究了新冠疫情期间小组参与者的隔离是否改变了涂鸦作为抑郁和焦虑衡量方式的能力。参与者认为在小组线上会议期间涂鸦增加了他们的乐趣和注意力水平——一些人表示这有助于他们放松。然而，与之前非新冠疫情年份的面对面会议不同，线上会议期间独自涂鸦无法反映研究人员的抑郁或焦虑。与之前的面对面涂鸦相比，新冠疫情导致的独自涂鸦的限制保留了小组成员在涂鸦中看到的好处，但阻碍了涂鸦作为职业倦怠衡量方式的能力。这一结果被认为与新冠疫情限制导致的小组团队正念变化的一个方面相对应。
