“…Mindfulness has been reported to be a beneficial strategy in overcoming anxiety and depression, and for improving relationships (Khoury et al 2013). Other studies have reported the beneficial effects of mindfulness techniques for coping with stress with US military service personnel (Jha et al 2017), and emergency room nurses (Westphal et al 2015).…”

“…Factors such as social support, self-efficacy, coping strategies, maintaining a work/family and/or work/leisure balance, mindfulness training and resilience have all been identified as potential mediators of chronic and complex stressors in the workplace (Carpenter et al 2015;Cowman et al 2004;Halbesleben 2009;Khoury et al 2013;Lambert et al 2012; Lee et al 2014;Regehr et al 2003;Wong et al 2014). The current study therefore sought to understand what incident-related and organisational stressors were being experienced by UK firefighters, as well as improve our understanding of what factors might help them buffer or manage the effects of workplace stress on their wellbeing.…”

As the first qualitative study of its kind, this study explored firefighters' beliefs and experiences about the psychological contract between themselves as employees and their employer, workplace stress, stress-management strategies, and their wellbeing. Eleven interviews were conducted with active firefighters from multiple fire stations in the UK. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analysed using framework analysis. Five superordinate themes were identified and labelled as 'Motives', 'Mutual obligations', 'Stressors and their effects', 'Moderators', and 'Retention factors', each of which contained lower level sub-themes. Psychological contract (PC) is a useful construct to measure firefighters' perceived obligations as their responses reflected multiple facets of PC theory. The current climate of austerity measures appears to be negatively impacting on firefighters in terms of reducing numbers and placing higher task demands on those remaining. Thus, making it very difficult for the UK Fire and Rescue Service (UKFRS) to meet the perceived obligations of their employees. The findings have implications for human resource departments within UKFRS trying to manage the impact of funding cuts and they highlight the potential value of the PC as a construct around which such issues can be explored.

“…Algumas intervenções que ajudaram a reduzir o estresse tiveram duração de quatro semanas (Fan et al, 2014;Greeson et al, 2014;Jain et al, 2007;Shearer, Hunt, Chowdhury, & Nicol, 2015), sugerindo que formatos mais breves do que o clássico modelo de oito semanas dos protocolos de mindfulness (Khoury et al, 2013) também têm o potencial de produzir mudanças positivas e significativas. Este dado está em consonância com o fato de que os resultados do presente estudo permaneceram significativos mesmo controlando para o número de faltas.…”

RESUMO -Intervenções meditativas têm sido utilizadas nas universidades para reduzir estresse. Este trabalho objetivou investigar o efeito de um treino de meditação focada de seis semanas no estresse (utilizando o Inventário de Sintomas de Estresse da Lipp) e mindfulness disposicional (utilizando o Questionário das Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness versão Brasileira) em universitários. Um ensaio controlado não randomizado comparou um grupo experimental e um grupo de lista de espera antes e após a intervenção. Apenas o grupo experimental reduziu a presença de estresse nas fases resistência, quase-exaustão e geral. Apresentou, ainda, aumento significativo de mindfulness nas facetas descrever, não reagir e no escore total. Conclui-se que treinos meditativos podem configurar uma alternativa para intervenções visando ao manejo de estresse e aprimoramento de habilidades de mindfulness nas universidades.Palavras-chave: meditação, estresse, mindfulness, universitários. Effects of Focused Meditation on Stress and Dispositional Mindfulness in College StudentsABSTRACT -Meditation based interventions have been used in universities to reduce stress. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a six-week focused meditation-training on stress (using Lipp´s Inventory of Stress Symptoms) and dispositional mindfulness (using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire -Brazilian version) in college students from southern Brazil. A nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the experimental group and the waitlist control group before and after the training. Compared with controls, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements for stress, and increases in mindfulness scores, particularly for the facets describe and non-react. The results suggest that meditative practice may be an alternative for interventions aiming to tackle stress and enhance mindfulness skills in the university context.

“…Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to be an effective method of reducing stress and improving wellbeing among a variety of populations (Chiesa and Serretti 2011;Kallapiran et al 2015;Khoury et al 2013;Piet et al 2012) including caregivers (Altmaier and Maloney 2007;Birnie et al 2010;Bögels et al 2008Bögels et al , 2014Epstein-Lubow et al 2011;Minor et al 2006; Van der Oord et al 2012;Whitebird et al 2012). Mindfulness is defined as "purposefully paying attention and being present in the moment" (Kabat-Zinn 2003, p. 145).…”
