“…All studies included participants working in a healthcare setting, including nursing (Bazarko et al, ; Horner et al, ), nursing and midwifery (Foureur et al, ) and mental health (Brady et al, ). Several studies used a variety of HCPs, including nurses, doctors and occupational therapists (Fortney et al, ; Manotas et al, ; Martín‐Asuero & García‐Banda, ; Schenstrom et al, ; Shapiro et al, ). One study involved a combination of HCPs, educational professionals and service industry employees (Martín‐Asuero & García‐Banda, ).…”

How Effective are Mindfulness‐Based Interventions for Reducing Stress Among Healthcare Professionals? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

et al. 2016

Workplace stress is high among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and is associated with reduced psychological health, quality of care and patient satisfaction. This systematic review and meta-analysis reviews evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for reducing stress in HCPs. A systematic literature search was conducted. Papers were screened for suitability using inclusion criteria and nine papers were subjected to review and quality assessment. Seven papers, for which full statistical findings could be obtained, were also subjected to meta-analysis. Results of the meta-analysis suggest that MBIs have the potential to significantly improve stress among HCPs; however, there was evidence of a file drawer problem. The quality of the studies was high in relation to the clarity of aims, data collection and analysis, but weaker in terms of sample size and the use of theoretical frameworks. MBIs have the potential to reduce stress among HCPs; however, more high-quality research is needed before this finding can be confirmed. Future studies would benefit from long-term follow-up measures to determine any continuing effects of mindfulness training on stress outcomes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…A modified and extended MBSR program for primary physicians offered by Krasner et al [46], resulted in self-reported improvements in mindfulness, burnout, empathy and responsiveness to psychosocial aspects of patients’ problems, mood disturbance, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and engagement at work. Subsequently, various types of psycho-educational interventions based on MBSR for treating occupational stress in health professionals in different countries have been undertaken, and there are different studies around the world substantiating this conclusion, including: Spain [7,47,48], the USA [12,44], France [49], Canada [50], Colombia [51], and Chile [34]. All of these studies point to the benefits of training physicians to be able to better handle stress and their emotions, and also to communicate with more awareness when dealing with patients.…”

Communication between physicians and patients is a key pillar of psychosocial support for enhancing the healing process of patients and for increasing their well-being and quality of life. Physicians and other health professionals might benefit from interventions that increase their self-care, awareness, compassion, and other-focused concern, and reduce the chances of distress and burnout. There is substantial evidence for the contribution of different management strategies to achieve these aims. The goal of this article is to review the potential effect of mindfulness and compassion-based strategies for the improvement of physician-patient interactions. The acquisition of the necessary skills by physicians requires continuous education. Future research will be useful for identifying more evidence on the cost-effectiveness of this type of intervention.

“…For longitudinal targets, we modelled three commonly-cited MT benefits: improved subjective wellbeing, attentional control [8][9][10][11]13], and interoceptive integration [31][32][33][34]. For local targets, we tested for improvements in mood, physiological arousal [24,35,36], and stress [11,22,26,37].…”

“…Moreover, these interventions are costly and not easily accessible due to the requirement of therapists to implement these interventions [20,21]. These limitations have prompted research on the minimum-dose required for efficacious MT; these investigations have found that brief mindfulness training as short as 3-days to 4-weeks had positive effects on anxiety, negative mood, mindfulness, perceived stress, and attention [22][23][24]. Moreover, a systematic review found no relationship between hours spent in MT sessions and changes in psychological distress [25], suggesting that formal meditation time is not the most important factor in efficacious MT.…”

Background: Mindfulness training (MT) includes a variety of contemplative practices aimed at promoting intentional awareness of experience, coupled with attitudes of non-judgment and curiosity. Following the success of 8-week, manualized, group interventions, MT has been implemented in a variety of modalities, including smartphone applications that seek to replicate the success of group interventions. However, while smartphone apps are scalable and accessible to a wider swath of population, their benefits remain largely untested. Objective: The present study investigated a newly developed MT application called Wildflowers, which was co-developed with the lab for use in mindfulness research. It was hypothesized that MT through this application would improve subjective well-being, attentional control, and interoceptive integration, albeit with weaker effects than those published in the group intervention literature. Methods: Undergraduate students completed 3-weeks of MT with Wildflowers (n = 45), or 3-weeks of mathematical problem-solving training with a game called 2048 (n = 41). State training effects were assessed through pre-and post-session ratings of current mood, stress level, and heart rate. Trait training effects were assessed through pre-and post-intervention questionnaires canvassing subjective well-being, and behavioural task measures of attentional control and interoceptive integration. State and trait training data were analyzed in a multilevel model, using emergent latent factors (acceptance, awareness, openness) to summarize the trait questionnaire battery.
