“…The mindfulness stress buffering hypothesis [48] proposes that mindfulness training can reduce perceptions of stress and in turn reduce the body's heightened response to stress. Tests of this hypothesis have been promising [49,50]. Mindfulness can serve as an effective buffer against stressors both proximal, such as coping with substance use cravings [51] or mental fatigue from multitasking [52], and distal, by reducing perceptions of and reactions to stress over time [48].…”

Mindfulness-informed interventions (MIIs) are increasingly common but have not been extensively studied among families with elevated levels of risk (e.g., those involved in child protective services and/or receiving financial assistance). These families often experience high rates of stressors that can impact coping strategies, interpersonal dynamics, and relationships. Given that mindfulness has been shown to promote health and wellbeing, this study used a sample from two pilot randomized controlled trials to test the extent to which a mindfulness-informed intervention improved coping strategies and perceptions of children’s behavior among 53 families with elevated risk. A principal components analysis with a direct oblimin rotation revealed that cognitive–emotion coping strategies could be characterized by three factors: positive adaptation, negative adaptation, and positive refocusing. Intention-to-treat analysis indicated significant group by time differences, with intervention participants demonstrating improvements in positive refocusing coping, positive adaptation coping, and perceptions of children’s behavior problems compared to participants in the waitlist control group. No significant differences were found for negative adaptation coping strategies. Findings provide preliminary support for the benefits of mindfulness training in a sample generally underrepresented in the mindfulness intervention literature.

“…Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques encompass an array of psychological practices and physical exercises designed to alleviate stress, mitigate pain, and forestall burnout [9]. MBSR is a mindfulness-oriented program developed to equip individuals with tools to manage stress, cope with illness, and address mental health challenges [9,10]. This comprehensive program incorporates a diverse range of practices, including meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, and other techniques that cultivate present-moment awareness, foster nonjudgmental acceptance of thoughts and emotions, and enhance self-regulation abilities.…”

Objective This study aims to ascertain the validity and effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) technique in reducing stress and preventing emotional burnout among psychiatric nurses, with the goal of introducing it as a resource-efficient intervention in psychiatric medical institutions. Materials and methods From November 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023, we selected 50 participants, comprising 34 women and 16 men, from three medical institutions in the Republic of Kazakhstan. These participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group, each consisting of 25 respondents. The experimental group received the MBSR technique as a psychological intervention. We assessed both groups using the Depression Symptom Scale-90 (SCL-90), the Depression Self-Report Scale (SDS), and the Nurses' Stress Rating Scale (NSS) before and after the intervention. These scales are standard tools for self-diagnosis of mental health and stress levels. Results (1) Following the application of the MBSR technique, the respondents in the experimental group experienced a significant decrease in SCL-90 scores, demonstrating a statistically significant difference from their scores before the intervention (p < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed in this indicator within the control group (p > 0.05). (2) Post-intervention, SDS scores significantly decreased in the experimental group, with a notable statistical difference from the pre-intervention scores (p < 0.001). Conversely, no statistically significant difference was found in the control group (p > 0.05). (3) After the intervention, the Nurse Stress Rating Scale (NSS) score significantly decreased within the experimental group, with a statistically significant difference from the pre-intervention score (p < 0.001). Conclusions The utilization of the MBSR technique effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety and depressive moods, and mitigates negative emotions among psychiatric nurses, thus serving as a preventive measure against emotional burnout.
