This article reports a one-year study examining the effect of a smartphone meditation app (M-App) in alleviating burnout and promoting resilience among chaplains working in hospices of older adults in Asian and African cities (N1 = 96; N2 = 85). Results indicated that chaplains who used the M-App exhibited lesser emotional exhaustion and depersonalization as burnout markers and higher personal achievement and resilience as compared to leisure app (L-App) users. The M-App was effective (Cohen’s d range = 3.08–5.07, p = .001) for the intervention cohort. Male chaplains, highly qualified, attached to assisted living hospices, who used the M-App once-twice a day, perused both videos and learning sessions and self-practiced regularly, reported lower emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and higher personal achievement and resilience post-test. M-App usage behavior mediated the relationship between demographic and hospice related moderators and outcomes
