“…30 Lastly, individuals have reported a decrease in on-duty accidents and time off-work, and an increase in productivity while on the job. 31 Mindful awareness of the unexpected can also be a critical element of an organizational learning framework for healthcare organizations to create a culture of safety and wellbeing, 32 which may be a critical factor in being able to pivot in times such as COVID-19.…”

Background Healthcare professional (HCP) burnout transcends clinician job title and role, thus creating a need for interprofessional strategies to address burnout. The organizational framework of offering employer-sponsored mindfulness programming to HCPs sets the stage for an orchestrated, mindful response to COVID-19. Objective This single arm pre-post interventional research tested changes in measures of burnout, resilience, perceived stress and work engagement for interprofessional HCP faculty and students participating in Mindfulness in Motion (MIM), a novel eight-week multimodal evidenced–based onsite intervention. Methods A Graduate Medical Education (GME) pilot of MIM was expanded to target inter-professional resiliency within an academic health center. MIM is the core offering of the Gabbe Health and Wellness program for students, staff, faculty, and residents and is embedded across the entire medical center. Results The faculty/student role demographic categories (n = 267) included resident physicians, resident chaplains, attending physicians, medical center faculty, and hospital administrative/managerial clinical staff. These cohorts demonstrated significant 27% reduction in participants meeting burnout criteria. Total burnout was determined by scores on subscales of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA) of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). There was a highly significant pre/post decrease in the in the emotional exhaustion (p < 0.00001) and depersonalization scores (p < 0.001), with highly significant increase in the personal accomplishment (p < 0.00001) scores. Resilience, as measured by the Connor Davidson Resiliency Scale (CDRS), significantly increased (p < 0.00001), alongside a significant increase (p < 0.00001) in the total Utrecht Work Engagement Score (UWES) and a significant decrease in scores on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (p < 0.00001). Conclusion MIM significantly reduced burnout and perceived stress, for interprofessional (HCP) faculty and staff, while increasing resilience and work engagement in a large healthcare system. These results paved the way for an organizational response that utilized mindfulness to empower HCPs to navigate through the novel challenges presented by COVID-19.

“…Several studies demonstrated improvement in other health outcomes, such as sleep (Black, O’Reilly, Olmstead, Breen, & Irwin, ; Ong et al, ), immunity (Black & Slavich, ; Davidson et al, ), blood pressure (Curiati et al, ; Hughes et al, ), and pain (Cusens, Duggan, Thorne, & Burch, ; Zeidan & Vago, ; Zeidan et al, ). The effects of mindfulness‐based interventions on psychological and psychiatric symptoms are also noteworthy, with positive outcomes on stress (Shapiro, Schwartz, & Bonner, ; Taren et al, ), professional burnout symptoms (Cohen‐Katz, Wiley, Capuano, Baker, & Shapiro, ; Luken & Sammons, ), anxiety symptoms (Hoge et al, ; Kabat‐Zinn et al, ), depressive symptoms (Sephton et al, ; Strauss, Cavanagh, Oliver, & Pettman, ), and prevention of depressive relapse or recurrence (Kuyken et al, ).…”

Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of the Breathworks' Mindfulness for Stress 8-week course on depressive and psychiatric symptoms, and on positive and negative affects, compared with active control and wait list. Method: A total of 84 primary care health professionals enrolled in the study, in quasi-experimental research design. The scales Beck Depression Inventory, Self-Reporting Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Self-Compassion Scale, and Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire were applied before and after the interventions. Results: Depressive symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, and negative affects had a statistically significant decrease before postintervention evaluations in Mindfulness for Stress group, and the levels of self-compassion and observe and non-reactivity dimensions of mindfulness improved after the intervention. Conclusions: The Mindfulness for Stress program can be considered a feasible group intervention to improve the mental health of healthcare professionals.

“…Omics studies began to characterize different biological substrates. Nevertheless, such studies have only recently looked into neuronal structures (English et al, 2012), giving access to solid neuroproteomics databases (Collins et al, 2006;Behan et al, 2009;Hahn et al, 2009;Ishii et al, 2009;Bay es et al, 2011). We propose that omics studies advance towards insights into the biomolecular underpinnings of subjective experience, for instance, the physiological mechanisms involved in strong emotional states (Chiappelli et al, 2006).…”

“…Meditative practice has been revealed as an effective alternative to pharmacology on blood pressure response (Park and Han, 2017), and as a successful cognitive behavioral therapy for epilepsy (Leeman-Markowski and Schachter, 2016). In addition, meditation intervention appears to promote a change in attentional focus from the internal to the present-moment external world, thereby having important implications for the treatment of anxiety (Xu et al, 2017), and generalized anxiety disorders (Hoge et al, 2017).…”

There are two fundamental models to understanding the phenomenon of natural life. One is the computational model, which is based on the symbolic thinking paradigm. The other is the biological organism model. The common difficulty attributed to these paradigms is that their reductive tools allow the phenomenological aspects of experience to remain hidden behind yes/no responses (behavioral tests), or brain 'pictures' (neuroimaging). Hence, one of the problems regards how to overcome methodological difficulties towards a non-reductive investigation of conscious experience. It is our aim in this paper to show how cooperation between Eastern and Western traditions may shed light for a non-reductive study of mind and life. This study focuses on the first-person experience associated with cognitive and mental events. We studied phenomenal data as a crucial fact for the domain of living beings, which, we expect, can provide the ground for a subsequent third-person study. The intervention with Jhana meditation, and its qualitative assessment, provided us with experiential profiles based upon subjects' evaluations of their own conscious experiences. The overall results should move towards an integrated or global perspective on mind where neither experience nor external mechanisms have the final word.
