“…At the same time, protective variables like mindfulness, which is a moment-to-moment awareness of one's feelings without judgment, may have a favorable effect on a variety of psychological outcomes throughout the pandemic. The study supports the value of trait mindfulness for psychological consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic (13). Changes in nurse-patient ratios, care for high-risk patients, the risk of getting the disease, treatment for the virus, changes to work circumstances, giving patients intensive, prolonged care while wearing protective equipment, and the potential for the virus to spread to other patients or families can all contribute to the pandemic and cause unsettling emotions in nurses, including anxiety, stigma, burnout, and anger (14).…”

Aim: Mindful attention awareness and anxiety levels of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic were unknown. In this study, we aimed to measure the behavioral changes of healthcare workers together with their anxiety and mindful attention awareness levels during the pandemic. Methods: A brief mental health examination was conducted on healthcare workers who were actively involved in the COVID-19 pandemic to identify any dysfunctional anxiety issues associated with COVID-19. A survey containing behavioral changes, as well as a coronavirus anxiety scale and mindful attention awareness scale were administered to healthcare workers during the pandemic. Results: A total of 146 healthcare workers, 56.2% of women were included in the study. The coronavirus anxiety scale score values of the participants were a mean of 4±4.4 (Min=0-Max=20), and 13.7% of them had high levels of anxiety. The mean score for the mindful attention awareness scale score was a mean 59.4±13.9 (Min=22-Max=90). Females had higher coronavirus anxiety scale scores (p=0.003), but males had greater mindful attention awareness scale scores (p=0.001). It was determined that the coronavirus anxiety scale total scores averages of healthcare workers whose sleep (p=0.001), out-of-hospital clothing (p=0.006), and eating habits (p=0.017) changed during the pandemic were statistically significantly higher (p

ZusammenfassungAchtsamkeit hat sich zu einem zentralen Konzept in der Psychotherapie entwickelt und verspricht sowohl für Therapeut(inn)en als auch für Klient(inn)en ein erhebliches Potenzial. Dieser Artikel bietet eine Zusammenfassung der Vorteile und empirischen Wirksamkeitsnachweise von Achtsamkeit in der Psychotherapie und diskutiert gleichzeitig mögliche Schattenseiten und Kritikpunkte. Seit der Einführung der Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) von Kabat-Zinn vor vier Jahrzehnten hat eine Fülle von Forschungsarbeiten, insbesondere in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten, die positive Wirkung von Achtsamkeitspraktiken auf das psychologische und physiologische Wohlbefinden gezeigt. Gleichzeitig gibt es zunehmend Forschung, die sich mit den negativen Auswirkungen befasst, wobei Ergebnisse zum Beispiel darauf hindeuten, dass Achtsamkeit zu mehr Selbstbezogenheit führen kann. Darüber hinaus bietet der Artikel einen laufenden Diskurs über die Grenzen von Achtsamkeitsanwendungen in der Therapie und warnt vor einer Fehlinterpretation von Achtsamkeit als statische Denkweise, die für Veränderung keinen Raum lässt. Der Artikel postuliert, dass es für eine effektive Integration von Achtsamkeit in der Psychotherapie unerlässlich ist, dass Therapeut(inn)en, die achtsamkeitsbasierte Interventionen anbieten, selbst umfassend mit Achtsamkeit vertraut sind.

Purpose The changes in the service context due to COVID-19 have challenged service marketers to understand and react to consumers’ feelings that impact their shopping behavior in services. Moreover, consumers had to face a challenging situation with an impact on mental health. This study aims to assess the impact of spirituality and compassionate love as coping mechanisms that might increase hope, which, in turn, decreases anxiety. Hope also mitigates the impact of fear on anxiety. The authors also investigate the mediate effect of hope in its relationship to spirituality and well-being during the pandemic in Brazil and its potential impact on services marketing. Design/methodology/approach To investigate the relationship between fear, anxiety, hope, compassionate love, spirituality and well-being, the authors conducted an online survey with 469 Brazilians who had been in quarantine for more than 45 days. To conduct the investigation, the authors used a purposive sampling to reach respondents due to the exceptional situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings Using a structural equation model, the authors found that hope is a mediator with a buffer effect on the relationships between anxiety and fear and between spirituality and anxiety. Moreover, the authors found that hope mediates the relationship between spirituality and well-being, leading to greater levels of well-being. Service companies in general can benefit from using these findings to better manage their relationships with consumers during and after COVID-19 pandemic. Research limitations/implications The sample included only Brazilian respondents, and pre-pandemic well-being was not measured. Originality/value There is evidence that traumatic events (e.g. war) influence feelings and consumer behavior. The findings suggest that the adoption of practices related to spirituality during an extreme, stressful situation has an influence on people’s hope and potentially mitigates anxiety. Increasing spirituality and hope can also benefit perceptions of well-being. Besides, in this context, the authors recommend that service providers communicate unobservable elements in a transaction (e.g. care, safety) by providing observable signals of spirituality and hope to reduce negative emotions.
