“…Fang and Li's study demonstrated the effects of Yoga focusing on sleep problems in nurses [38]. Riley's work, apart from estimating how yoga can improve the physical and psychological health status of staff, made a comparison between the effectiveness of yoga programs and cognitive training programs in determining a better mental well-being and a reduction of stress-related consequences, with yoga showing better results [39]. The yoga program discussed in the study of Klatt et al emphasizes the advantages of an activity that prove to be feasible and adaptable to the working environment [40].…”

Mindfulness-based interventions have emerged as unique approaches for addressing a range of clinical and subclinical difficulties such as stress, chronic pain, anxiety, or recurrent depression. Moreover, there is strong evidence about the positive effects of yoga practice on stress management and prevention of burnout among healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to conduct a single-arm clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of an intervention based on mindfulness-based stress reduction and yoga in improving healthcare workers' quality of life. Healthcare workers of two hospitals in Rome were enrolled in a 4-week yoga and mindfulness course. Four questionnaires were administered at different times (Short Form-12 (SF-12), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Y1 and Y2, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)) to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention. Forty participants took part to the study (83.3 %). The Mental Composite Score-12, that is part of the quality of life assessment, passed from a median of 43.5 preintervention to 48.1 postintervention (p = 0.041), and the negative affect passed from a score of 16 in the preintervention to 10 in the postintervention (p < 0.001). Both the forms of the STAI questionnaires showed a decrease after the intervention. Yoga and mindfulness administered together seem to be effective to reduce stress and anxiety in healthcare workers, providing them with more consciousness and ability to manage work stressful demands.anxiety, or recurrent depression [1-3]. Mindfulness can be described as a moment-to-moment awareness that is cultivated by purposefully paying attention to the present experience with a nonjudgmental attitude. It can be implemented through structured programs, including group and individual mental training, and is generally considered to entail the two core components of attention and acceptance [4]. More in details, mindfulness consists of formal meditation exercises (e.g., paying attention to the body, lying on the ground, or walking slowly with a sense of awareness of one's surroundings) as well as informal exercises (e.g., paying full attention to what one is doing or experiencing at a certain moment) [5]. Moreover, adaptive changes in brain functioning and structure (functional and neural plasticity) related to mindfulness training have been reported in several neuroscientific studies [6,7]. MBIs were initially developed for clinical contexts, but several studies have demonstrated that these interventions improve cognitive performance and emotional reactivity also in nonclinical populations [8,9]. Other studies have shown the effectiveness of MBIs for stress reduction and the enhancement of well-being within the workplace setting [10,11]. Finally, several cross-sectional studies provide indirect evidence that regular mindfulness practice may counteract cognitive ageing, which is indicated by preserved performance in various cognitive tasks as well as preserved neural tissue in older meditators compared to age-matched individuals [12,13]....

“…Interventions of this type include ACT (Jeffcoat & Hayes, ), and the use of a cognitive‐behavioral stress management curriculum (Shimazu, Okada, Sakamoto, & Miura, ; Zolnierczyk‐Zreda, ; Leung, Chiang, Mak, & Wong, ). Cognitive‐behavioral stress interventions are feasible for workplace wellness programs, and they promote general health and well‐being for employees (Riley et al, ). Acceptance‐based interventions, including ACT, focus on new ways of relating to stressors and have been classified as “third‐wave” cognitive‐behavioral approaches (Riley et al, ).…”

“…Cognitive‐behavioral stress interventions are feasible for workplace wellness programs, and they promote general health and well‐being for employees (Riley et al, ). Acceptance‐based interventions, including ACT, focus on new ways of relating to stressors and have been classified as “third‐wave” cognitive‐behavioral approaches (Riley et al, ). Combining training and practice feasibly generates more comprehensive opportunities for teacher stress management and serves as a foundation for innovative strategies to manage workplace stress.…”

“…Another “third‐wave” therapeutic approach to stress intervention is mindfulness (Riley et al, ). Mindfulness takes cognitive and behavioral strategies and focuses on the process of feeling and thinking rather than on thought content (Riley et al, ). Awareness and acceptance without judgment are key components of mindfulness strategies (Kabat‐Zinn et al, ).…”

Due to the increased pressure from test‐based accountability practices, teachers have reported high levels of stress and burnout. High teacher stress has an impact on school outcomes, including links to absenteeism, burnout, school climate, and teacher behavior management. Teacher stress interventions may be an important first step toward reducing these negative outcomes. Although there have been several recent intervention studies in the domain of teacher stress, there has been no systematic review to compare the type and effectiveness of teacher stress interventions. Included within this review are interventions from a variety of modalities such as knowledge‐based, behavioral, cognitive‐behavioral, and mindfulness approaches. Results indicated that the most effective interventions were in the mindfulness, behavioral, and cognitive‐behavioral domains. Interventions which delivered solely informational content were among the least effective.

This study explored approaches to building a culture of wellness in the workplace from a developing country perspective. Focus group discussions with HR practitioners and health professionals in the Philippines were conducted. Deductive thematic analysis was used to organize the data. Results showed that organizations use a variety of strategies in building workplace wellness, which could be classified using the CREATE framework -Communicate, Role model, Engage employees, Align systems, structures and policies, Train, Evaluate and reinforce. The identified strategies and CREATE framework can be utilized as a guide for organizations planning to implement workplace wellness initiatives in a holistic manner.
