“…Although there is not enough empirical evidence for any specific psychological interventions in the workplace [8], our results are in line with the evidence that workplace MBIs decrease burnout and stress levels and have other positive effects on mental health [32][33][34]. Further research should explain how these effects are produced, i.e., which are the involved mechanisms of action [9].…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week workplace mindfulness- and self-compassion-based intervention (MSCBI) on perceived stress, burnout, immune functioning (assessed with the biomarker Immunoglobulin A), self-compassion, and experiential avoidance compared to a Workplace Stress Management Intervention. Both interventions were contextual, i.e., they were carried out in the workplace setting and during working hours. We followed a randomised controlled trial study design. The total sample was composed of 24 employees of an automotive company. One-way analyses of covariance between groups revealed significant differences in post-intervention levels of perceived stress, salivary Immunoglobulin A (sIgA), emotional exhaustion, self-compassion, and experiential avoidance, after adjusting for pre-test scores. The results of this study have several implications. Firstly, it confirms that MSCBIs might be more effective than regular psychoeducational interventions for work-related stress and burnout treatment. Secondly, sIgA can be used to assess immune function state changes when MSCBIs are carried out. Furthermore, these results indicate that it is feasible to carry out MSCBIs within companies and during working hours, and that these interventions can help effectively manage stress and burnout associated with the work environment.

Background: Mindfulness is an attention and awareness of the present moment that enables head nurses to be aware of themselves and environment surrounding them. It also assists head nurses to cope with organizational changes and stress, resulting in motivating staff nurses to generate, search and apply novel ideas in workplace. Purpose of the study:To determine head nurses' mindfulness and it's relation to their staff nurses' innovative work behavior at Menoufia University Hospital. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used. Setting: This study included selected inpatient departments and closed units of Menoufia University Hospital at Shebin EL-Kom. Subjects: This study included all head nurses and a simple random sample of 255 staff nurses who work in selected units at Menoufia University Hospital at Shebin El-Kom and accepted to participate in the study. Tools of the study: Two instruments were utilized by the investigator. Instrument one was Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Instrument two was Innovative Behavior Inventory. Instruments were face and content validated by 5 experts Results: More than two-thirds of head nurses had moderate level (67.5%) of mindfulness. The highest mean score of mindfulness dimension as perceived by head nurses (73%) was related to describing dimension, while the lowest mean score (58.5%) was related to acting with awareness dimension. Near to half of staff nurses had a moderate level (45.9%) regarding innovative work behavior. The highest mean score (72.9%) was related to involving others dimension, while the lowest mean score (66.5%) was related to implementing starting activities dimension for staff nurses. Conclusions: There was a highly positive statistical significant correlation between total head nurses' perceived mindfulness and total perceived innovative work behavior among staff nurses. Recommendations: Hospital administration should collaborate with staff development department to provide continuing education program to develop head nurses' mindfulness in workplace. Hospital administration should develop the perception of innovative work behavior and provide activities that develop innovation among staff nurses.

“…Mindfulness manifests internal resource abundance and has statistical significance on work engagement. Calcagni et al ( 33 ) explored the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on work engagement and demonstrated that the participants’ level of work engagement and performance successfully increased after interventions. Healthcare professionals who screened positive for depression were less engaged in their work.…”

BackgroundWith the shift of strategy in fighting COVID-19, the post-pandemic era is approaching. However, the “hard times” for healthcare systems worldwide are not yet ending. Healthcare professionals suffer negative impacts caused by the epidemic, which may seriously threaten their work motivation, concentration, and patient safety.ObjectiveInvestigating the status and factors associated with Chinese healthcare professionals’ work engagement in the post-pandemic era.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate healthcare professionals from 10 hospitals in Hunan Province. Data were collected using demographic characteristics, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2, Patient Heath Qstionaire-2, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Work-Related Basic Need Satisfaction Scale, National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task Load Index, and self-compassion scale. Descriptive and multiple linear regression analyses explored the factors associated with work engagement.ResultsA total of 1,037 eligible healthcare professionals participated in this study, including 46.4% of physicians, 47.8% of nurses, and 5.8% of others. The total mean score of work engagement was 3.36 ± 1.14. The main predictor variables of work engagement were gender (p = 0.007), years of work experience (p < 0.001), whether currently suffering challenges in the care of patients with COVID-19 (p = 0.003), depression (p < 0.001), work-related basic need satisfaction (p < 0.001), and mindfulness (p < 0.001).ConclusionHealthcare professionals have a medium level of work engagement. Managers need to pay attention to the physical and psychological health of healthcare professionals, provide adequate support, help them overcome challenges, and acknowledge their contribution and value to improve their work engagement, enhance the quality of care and ensure patient safety.
