Mindfulness, qigong y su impacto en la salud

“…Reduce el estrés en los empleados de un hospital (Bazarko et al, 2013), ralentiza el envejecimiento (Cheong y Lee, 2014), otorga mayor percepción de bienestar psicológico (Cheung et al, 2015), aumento de la densidad ósea y menos caídas en los adultos (Chan et al, 2017). Mejora la función cognitiva (Choi y Koh, 2015), aumenta el bienestar en escolares (Jennings et al, 2013), y favorece la función pulmonar en niños asmáticos (Chu, 2010).…”

“…Más aún, cuando se convierte en estrés laboral crónico, es una fuente de síntomas y enfermedades digestivas, respiratorias, cardiacas, metabólicas e inmunes, entre otras afecciones corporales. Paralelamente, la salud psicológica del trabajador también se ve perturbada, pues se torna ansioso, depresivo, distraído, hiperactivo, irritable, voluble, falto de energía e insatisfecho con su vida laboral (Choi y Koh, 2015;Norman, Fu, Ekman, Björck y Falk, 2017).…”

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction as a Method Supporting the Process of Coping with Stress and Professional Burnout among Nurses

“…Zmniejsza przez to doświadczany stres i zapobiega, przynajmniej do pewnego stopnia, rozwojowi negatywnych konsekwencji obciążenia psychicznego związanego z pracą. Badania korelacyjne wykazują pozytywny związek uważności z satysfakcją zawodową oraz negatywną zależność pomiędzy uważnością a wypaleniem (Choi, Koh 2015). Wydaje się zatem, że trening redukcji stresu oparty na uważności może być doskonałą odpowiedzią na opisane wyżej zagrożenia psychologiczne w pracy pielęgniarek (por.…”

“…2011), Brazylii (Santos i in. 2015), we Włoszech (Chiesa, Seretti 2009), w Korei (Choi, Koh 2015) czy Wielkiej Brytanii (Williams, Simons, Tanabe 2015). Uzyskiwanie spójnych danych, mimo oczywistych różnic kulturowych, potwierdza uniwersalność treningu MBSR.…”

Becoming the boss : using Schlossberg's Transition Theory to explore new supervisors' transition to supervisory roles at a federal government agency

“…New supervisors could also experience job stress related to career development issues, such as being promoted at a time perceived to be too soon or too late. Previous research has reported mixed results in studying the relationship between years of work experience and levels of job stress (Choi & Koh, 2015;Clunies-Ross, Little, & Kienhuis, 2008;Han, Kim, & Won, 2007). In addition, employees in small and medium-sized organizations were more likely to experience poor promotion opportunities compared to employees in large organizations, who were more likely to experience less job autonomy (Lai, Saridakis, & Blackburn, 2015).…”
