“…In organizational settings, mindfulness-based programs have shown positive outcomes in terms of stress reduction [ 38 ], reduced emotional exhaustion and turnover intentions [ 39 ], reduced burnout [ 40 ], as well as well-being promotion (e.g., [ 41 ]). Mindfulness-based programs at work have also been shown to help increase concentration, cognitive abilities such as attentional control and cognitive flexibility, as well as emotion regulation and behavioral flexibility (reducing automatic behaviors triggered by stressful situations, for example), and have also been shown to increase performance at work and inter-personal relationships (e.g., [ 31 ]).…”

(1) Background: Occupational stress is high in academia, and is partly related to time pressure. Mindfulness-based programs are known to be effective in reducing stress and increasing well-being. Recent work suggested that these programs may also improve time management. This study tested the effects of a mindfulness-based program on academics’ psychological flexibility, mental health, well-being, and time management. (2) Methods: The study was conducted in a French research department. Participants were offered to join a mindfulness-based program (n = 21) or to be on a wait-list control group (n = 22). Self-reported measures of psychological flexibility, mental health (stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms), well-being, and time use were collected before and after the eight week program. (3) Results: Results showed that psychological flexibility, mental health, well-being, and efficient time use significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control condition. (4) Conclusions: The results suggested that the mindfulness-based programs were effective in improving adaptive functioning, well-being, and optimal time use in academia, thus underlining potential useful perspectives to help academics improve mental health and time management.

“…Os diferentes formatos de entrega do MBSR e o uso do protocolo padrão do programa CARE, em dois estudos, indicaram efeitos positivos da atenção plena na síndrome de burnout, consolidando as evidências de outras pesquisas com o primeiro protocolo (Frank et al, 2015;Todd, Cooksey, Davies, McRobbie, & Brophy, 2019) e o segundo Schussler, Jennings, Sharp, & Frank, 2016). Nos dois tipos de intervenção, o decréscimo da componente emocional foi um aspecto recorrente, corroborando achados de pesquisas com outros trabalhadores (Roy et al, 2020;Vella & McIver, 2019). A exaustão emocional é um dos primeiros estágios do esgotamento profissional (Benevides-Pereira, 2010), e representa o engajamento contínuo da pessoa em reações e respostas automáticas, sem atenção aos processos cognitivos e emocionais experimentados no momento presente (Kabat-Zinn, 2017).…”

Esta revisão objetivou descrever e examinar os resultados das intervenções em mindfulness para síndrome de burnout em professores. As bases de dados acessadas para a coleta das evidências foram: Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC (ProQuest), BVS (BIREME) e PubMed Central: PMC. Parâmetros de inclusão e exclusão foram utilizados para a escolha dos estudos, cujos processos de avaliação foram apoiados pela plataforma Rayyan e, após as fases de seleção, dez artigos constituíram a amostra final deste levantamento. Os resultados apontaram que os programas MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) e CARE (Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education) foram os protocolos adotados nas intervenções. O primeiro foi o mais utilizado, com variações na quantidade das sessões e nos tipos de práticas de atenção plena realizadas. Os módulos relacionados à autocompaixão e compaixão e o treinamento da regulação emocional apresentaram incremento nos níveis de saúde mental, física e laboral dos professores. Recomenda-se que as futuras modalidades interventivas em mindfulness atentem para a identificação dos mecanismos e seus respectivos componentes de ação, nos programas propostos, e implementem critérios de avaliação e monitoramento da qualidade de suas intervenções.

“…Therefore, Hayat, Azeem, Nawaz, Humayon and Ahmed (2019) revealed that human capital, organisational culture, teamwork, organisational development and commitment have a substantial relationship. On a different concept, Vella and McIver (2019) showed that a meditation-based programme has the potential to decrease stress in a stressful work environment. Additionally, Tuan, Rowley and Thao (2019) provided that there is a moderating role of diversity-oriented leadership as well as group diversity.…”
