“…In all but one study, participation in the MBI was voluntary and based on self‐selection. Response rates for survey completion were between 75% and 100% in seven studies, between 50% and 74% in three studies, and below 50% (or were not reported) in 14 studies . Eight were multicentre studies .…”

“…Scores for the quality of the studies ranged between 6.5 and 14.5 on the MERSQI scale; the mean score was 9.9, reflecting average quality (Table S2) . The eligible studies included seven randomised controlled trials (RCTs), three non‐randomised controlled trials (CTs), 12 pre‐post studies, and two qualitative interview studies (Table ). Of the RCTs and CTs, four studies employed a waitlist control condition, four studies employed a passive control condition, and two studies exposed controls to protected free time during the intervention period .…”

The impact of mindfulness‐based interventions on doctors’ well‐being and performance: A systematic review

Objectives:The well-being of doctors is at risk, as evidenced by high burnout rates amongst doctors around the world. Alarmingly, burned-out doctors are more likely to exhibit low levels of professionalism and provide suboptimal patient care. Research suggests that burnout and the well-being of doctors can be improved by mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). Furthermore, MBIs may improve doctors' performance (eg in empathy). However, there are no published systematic reviews that clarify the effects of MBIs on doctor well-being or performance to inform future research and professional development programmes. We therefore systematically reviewed and narratively synthesised findings on the impacts of MBIs on doctors' well-being and performance. Methods:We searched PubMed and PsycINFO from inception to 9 May 2018 and independently reviewed studies investigating the effects of MBIs on doctor wellbeing or performance. We systematically extracted data and assessed study quality according to the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI), and narratively reported study findings. Results:We retrieved a total of 934 articles, of which 24 studies met our criteria; these included randomised, (un)controlled or qualitative studies of average quality. Effects varied across MBIs with different training contents or formats: MBIs including essential mindfulness training elements, or employing group-based training, mostly showed positive effects on the well-being or performance of doctors across different educational and hospital settings. Doctors perceived both benefits (enhanced self-and otherunderstanding) and challenges (time limitations and feasibility) associated with MBIs.Findings were subject to the methodological limitations of studies (eg the use of selfselected participants, lack of placebo interventions, use of self-reported outcomes). Conclusions: This review indicates that doctors can perceive positive impacts ofMBIs on their well-being and performance. However, the evidence was subject to methodological limitations and does not yet support the standardisation of MBIs in professional development programmes. Rather, health care organisations could consider including group-based MBIs as voluntary modules for doctors with specific well-being needs or ambitions regarding professional development. | 139 SCHEEPERS Et al.

“…Although voted as the least favoured action to take forward by the group, the staff still selected environment as a theme. Staff require time and space to immerse themselves in the wellbeing techniques they are taught and being away from work in a different environment is beneficial (Razzaque and Wood, 2016).…”

Purpose Burnout in mental health staff is acknowledged as a major problem. The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of mental health staff views on improving burnout and mental toughness in mental health staff. Design/methodology/approach Ten participants from two mental health rehabilitation units across the north-west of England took part in a Nominal Group Technique. Participants consisted of mental health workers from varied roles in order to capture views from a multidisciplinary team. The main question posed to the staff was “What strategies and techniques do you think could help improve burnout and mental toughness in mental health staff”. Findings The study revealed that the top three ideas to take forward to help improve burnout and mental toughness in mental health staff were improving the culture/organisation, improving staff wellbeing and education. Additionally, staff were highly motivated and enthusiastic about engaging in discussion about what could be done to improve their wellbeing and the importance of taking this forward. Originality/value This study is unique in involving mental health staff in discussing their ways of improving their mental health. It is also unique as it has found the nine strategies to do this and these could be used in targeted training for mental health staff.

“…A study in a large London mental health Trust in 2013 [1] showed how the degree of mindfulness a mental health practitioner demonstrate is directly correlated to the therapeutic relationship they possess with their clients. A further study, a couple of years later [2], exploring the benefits of a mindfulness retreat for psychiatrists, also showed how it led to a reduction in burn out and an increase in both self-compassion and compassion. Studies have also shown the extent to which teaching mindfulness to psychotherapists can directly improve the outcome of therapy.…”

The value of mindfulness for clinical staff in the mental health field has thus been increasingly recognised over recent year and thus is now culminating in the evaluation and, potential future role out, of whole system approaches like Open Dialogue that put clinician mindfulness at the heart of the model. It is anticipated that this will ultimately be for the benefit of both staff and clients of these services alike, creating improvements and improving lives, therefore, on many levels.
