“…As expected, the regression results showed that mindfulness negatively predicted burnout (β = −.343, and when the mediator was included in the model β = −.170), indicating that raising mindfulness through various methods can be helpful in reducing burnout. These results are consistent with prior findings (Abenavoli et al, 2013;Lebares et al, 2018;Taylor & Millear, 2016) and confirm the association between mindfulness and burnout in a sample of special education teachers. These results are also in favor of Bazzano's perspective that a community-based mindfulness training program can be an effective intervention in decreasing stress and improving psychological well-being for caregivers of children with developmental disabilities (Bazzano et al, 2015).…”

This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between mindfulness and burnout in Chinese special education teachers. Three hundred and seven teachers completed the Five‐Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Multi‐dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale, and Teacher Burnout Inventory. The results showed that burnout was negatively correlated with mindfulness and perceived social support, while perceived social support was positively correlated with mindfulness. Moreover, perceived social support partially mediated the effect of mindfulness on special education teachers' burnout. These results suggest that the use of mindfulness combined with perceived social support may be beneficial for preventing and mitigating burnout among special education teachers.

“…Dispositional mindfulness facets showed a negative correlation with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Thus, dispositional mindfulness is confirmed as a significant personal trait in modulating burnout levels in the workplace (Taylor & Millear, ). This study confirms that the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and burnout, found in the general health care context (Voci et al, ), is also applied to the specific ER nursing area.…”

“…Nevertheless, considering the general literature about the health care professions, several psychological variables have been associated with burnout. Taylor and Millear (2016) have recently highlighted that dispositional mindfulness could be considered as an additional and new personal trait that predicts the levels of burnout. The capacity to "paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally, to the unfolding of experience moment-by-moment" (Kabat-Zinn, 2003) moves along a continuum that goes from a low level (mindlessness) to a state of deep awareness (mindfulness).…”

Protecting emergency room nurses from burnout: The role of dispositional mindfulness, emotion regulation and empathy

et al. 2019

Aim To verify the role of dispositional mindfulness, difficulties in emotion regulation and empathy in explaining burnout levels of emergency room (ER) nurses. Background Many studies have examined the variables that can affect burnout amongst ER nurses, but little is known about factors that can protect ER nurses against work‐related stress. Method A multi‐centre cross‐sectional design was used. Burnout level intensity, dispositional mindfulness facets, difficulties in emotion regulation and empathy dimensions were assessed using valid and reliable self‐report questionnaires in a sample of ER nurses (N = 97) from three different hospitals. Results Higher dispositional mindfulness and cognitive empathy levels and lower difficulties in emotion regulation, were negatively associated with emotional exhaustion levels. Conclusion ER nurses with more mindful, emotion regulation and empathy skills are more able to manage work‐related distress. Implications for Nursing Management Experiential interventions to promote mindfulness skills, emotion regulation variability and flexibility in a clinical context and the cognitive side of empathy are recommended for ER nurses to reduce professional distress, and to enhance personal and work satisfaction. Future research should assess the effectiveness of new multi‐factorial interventions which combine the development of mindfulness, emotion regulation and empathy skills in ER nurses.

“…Decreases in emotional exhaustion have multiple positive outcomes, since this is the first stage of burnout . Such exhaustion typically prompts a distancing between oneself and the work environment (manifesting as depersonalisation or cynicism), ultimately leading to a reduced sense of personal achievement and motivation.…”
