“…Individual affect can also influence Internet-related behaviour. A relationship between negative affect and PIU has also been reported by several empirical studies [ 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ]. Matthews, Farnsworth and Griffiths [ 88 ] revealed that negative mood states can predict students’ involvement in online gambling, a specific category of PIU.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the mediating effects of individual affect and relationship satisfaction on the relationship between self-esteem and Problematic Internet Use (PIU). Affect was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), relationship satisfaction was assessed using a positive and negative semantic dimension scale, self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and PIU was measured using the Problematic Internet Use scale with a sample of 507 Chinese university students (Mage = 20.41 years, SD = 2.49). The relationships between the variables were tested using structural equation modelling with a multiple mediation model. The results revealed that negative affect and the negative semantic dimensions of relationship satisfaction mediated the relationship between self-esteem and PIU. The implications of the results and the study’s theoretical contributions are discussed.

“…There is also promising groundwork for future research to further examine other avenues of modified mindfulness-based programs and interventions, such as activity-specific interventions and online methods of which there is increasing evidence for effectiveness (Mak et al 2015). Current research exploring online intervention in comparison to traditional face-to-face intervention has found similar effect sizes (Bailey et al 2018;Morledge et al 2013). The reasons for the reported success of online MBIs could be due to several factors including cost-effectiveness (Kuyken et al 2015), accessibility (Zernicke et al 2013) and practicality (Aikens et al 2014).…”

The number of teachers leaving the profession continues to increase at a worrying rate. Factors contributing to this include burnout, heightened levels of stress, anxiety and depression. The current study tested whether the use of mindful colouring would translate to improvements in wellbeing. Teachers from the UK (n = 35) were randomly assigned to a colouring mindfulness-based intervention or waitlist group. Participants completed four scales (burnout, wellbeing, resilience and mindfulness) and participated in a 5-day intervention of daily mindfulness colouring or continued their working week as usual. Results of repeated-measures ANOVA showed statistically significant lower levels of burnout, stress, depressive symptoms and anxiety in the mindfulness colouring condition, as well as increased levels of resilience and mindfulness. Findings from the current study support the use of mindfulness colouring to significantly enhance levels of wellbeing in teachers. The study also presents an inexpensive, highly accessible and effective self-help tool for this targeted non-clinical population.

“…Indeed, a multi-center randomized controlled trial showed that an online mindfulness intervention can significantly reduce perceived stress and anxiety of medical students, when offered (Warnecke et al, 2011 ). Other barriers to virtual mindfulness interventions as identified by the literature include higher attrition rates than typical of in-person interventions (Kemper and Khirallah, 2015 ; Spijkerman et al, 2016 ; Bailey et al, 2018 ) and a lack of objective measures (Kemper and Khirallah, 2015 ). With high attendance rates for both Pre-COVID and COVID cohorts, attrition was minimal in our study.…”

“…The authors noted, however, the lack of existing studies on online mindfulness, warranting the present study (Jayawardene et al, 2017 ). In addition, a strength of online interventions is that they have the ability to reach participants who may be even more in need of mindfulness programming and are unable to attend in-person programming (Bailey et al, 2018 ).…”

Synchronous Mindfulness in Motion Online: Strong Results, Strong Attendance at a Critical Time for Health Care Professionals (HCPs) in the COVID Era

et al. 2021

Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is an organizationally-sponsored mindfulness program for employees at a large academic health center that consistently produces significant reductions in burnout and perceived stress, alongside significant increases in work engagement and resilience. This study compared outcome measures of a synchronous virtual delivery of MIM, necessitated by COVID-19, to traditional in-person delivery of MIM. Outcome measures from the virtual COVID (AU20, WI21, SP21) MIM cohorts (n = 99) were compared with the in-person Pre-COVID (SP19, AU19, WI20) MIM cohorts (n = 124). Both Pre-COVID and COVID cohorts had similar attendance rates with an average attendance of 84 and 80%, respectively. Qualitative analysis of COVID cohorts reported community support during COVID as a substantial intervention benefit, which was important at a time when isolation dominated the healthcare professional experience. Total burnout was determined by scores on the subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). There were no significant differences in depersonalization (p = 0.3876) and personal accomplishment (p = 0.1519) changes between Pre-COVID and COVID cohorts, however there was a significant difference in emotional exhaustion (p = 0.0315), with COVID cohorts improving more. In both Pre, and COVID cohorts, the percentage of people meeting burnout criteria from pre to post between groups were similar, yielding a non-significant difference (p = 0.2950). The Connor Davidson Resiliency Scale (CDRS) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) also produced no significant differences between groups (p = 0.4259, p = 0.1984, respectively). The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) though yielded significant differences in reduction between groups (p = 0.0405), again with COVID cohorts showing greater improvement. Results of the first synchronous, virtually delivered MIM cohorts reflect that participants achieved very similar results and that MIM created a community in a time when it was greatly needed due to pandemic healthcare professional stress.
