“…The perinatal period is an opportune time for this integration, as mindfulness can lead to protective behaviors that contribute to maternal wellbeing during this transition and throughout the postpartum period [18,54,84]. A wide variety of tools exist aimed at integrating mindfulness into daily life including podcasts, guided meditations [85], and smartphone apps. For example, a recent systematic review identified over 600 smartphone apps designed to integrate mindfulness into daily life showcasing the link between daily integration and sustained mindfulness practice [86].…”

Many women experience depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. Mind-Body Interventions (MBIs) have shown great efficacy in the mitigation of these symptoms; however, there is limited research spanning the postpartum period and exploring long-term sustainability of mindfulness practice. Furthermore, little is known about specific facilitators that contribute to sustainability. The primary objective of this mixed-methods study is to use the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework to inform multi-level factors associated with the sustainability of mindfulness practices and associated mental health outcomes in the postpartum period after participating in a prenatal MBI to inform and improve future interventions. Measures of mental health including depression, anxiety, and perceived stress were evaluated via quantitative assessments at three time points (n = 24) across the prenatal and postpartum periods prior to and following the prenatal MBI. Interviews were conducted post-intervention (n = 10) and 5-12-months postpartum (n = 8) to identify sustainability facilitators. Measures of depression, anxiety, and perceived stress were significantly lower post-intervention than pre-intervention, and decreased levels of depression were sustained over three months postpartum. After participation, all interview participants reported intention to continue practice postpartum. In the postpartum period, 73% of participants reported weekly sustained practice. Qualitative interviews revealed significant facilitators to be informal practice (attitudes and beliefs), family and peer support (social norms), life-integration and self-compassion (perceived control) and benefits to child (intentions/ behaviors). These findings suggest that future interventions should focus on ease of integrating informal practice into daily routines, communication with support systems, self-compassion, and benefits of mindfulness practices for the child to promote sustainability.

“…Another mechanism by which servant leadership may facilitate physical well-being is through its focus on developing the whole person (Van Dierendonck & Patterson, 2015). For example, it is customary for whole-person approaches in a variety of fields such as higher education (Biber, 2020) and occupational health (Mathis & Jackson, 2010) to incorporate physical health as part of their holistic perspective. It therefore follows that a leadership style devoted to serving followers holistically will also include physical health in its approach to enhancing personal well-being (Van Dierendonck, 2011).…”

The personal well-being of sport industry employees has received little attention in the literature. The current investigation addresses this gap by developing a hypothesized model of servant leadership for well-being, positing that such an approach can shape psychological, social, and physical outcomes in the sport workplace. As servant leadership is known to create an environment where employees are awakened, engaged, and developed, this approach is positioned as a key influencer of employee well-being in the sport context. Using data from 489 employees working in professional sports, structural equation modeling analyses indicated servant leadership is predictive of employee life satisfaction and teamwork, with the latter mediating servant leadership's influence on both life satisfaction and physical health. A holistic approach to leadership for multidimensional well-being is henceforth proposed along with management implications for creating environments where sport employees can thrive both inside and outside the workplace.

“…Las teorías de la atención plena están vinculadas al aprendizaje experiencial dando importancia a cómo acciones guiadas que favorezcan dicha atención influyen en la percepción de la experiencia y, por tanto, en el desarrollo del proceso de aprendizaje (Griffith et al, 2018). Así, por ejemplo, se han encontrado evidencias de cómo acciones guiadas de meditación de atención plena favorecen el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y su bienestar (Biber, 2020). Sin embargo, el concepto y papel de la experiencia en el aprendizaje aún está poco explorado (Stock y Kolb, 2021).…”

Esta investigación analiza si el nivel de atención plena influye en el rendimiento académico, y si esta relación puede venir condicionada por el perfil de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. El nivel de atención plena se estudia a través de la Mindful Attention Awareness Scale y, para el perfil de aprendizaje, se sigue la Teoría del Aprendizaje Experiencial de D. A. Kolb. Los resultados de este estudio ponen de manifiesto que hay perfiles más sensibles que otros ante los distintos estímulos que influyen en el nivel de atención. Su corre
