“…La intervención en el grupo experimental siguió el programa MBSR tal y como lo describen Martin-Asuero y Garcia de la Banda (7) siguiendo el modelo de KabatZinn (6) . Fue conducida por un instructor formado en el Centro Médico de Reducción del Estrés de la Universidad de Massachusetts (EEUU) con la colaboración de una psicooncóloga.…”

“…Bajo esta perspectiva, se han desarrollado diferentes intervenciones psicosociales que han demostrado ampliamente su eficacia en la mejora de las habilidades de afrontamiento, la calidad de vida, la reducción del malestar emocional y la sensación de aislamiento en pacientes oncológicos (3)(4)(5) . Dentro de estas estrategias, el Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) es un tipo de intervención terapéutica desarrollada por Jon Kabat-Zinn (6) que consiste, tal como describen Martín-Asuero y García-Banda (7) , en "la intención sostenida de centrar la atención en la realidad del momento presente, aceptándola sin juicios y sin dejarse llevar por los pensamientos ni por las reacciones emotivas del momento" y, por tanto, "requiere mantener la atención en lo que ocurre aquí y ahora". Los programas de MBSR contemplan, habitualmente, entre 7 y 10 sesiones grupales de 1,5 o 2,5 horas de duración y tienen un claro enfoque hacía la interacción cuerpo-mente, alternando la práctica de ejercicios corporales y estiramientos tipo yoga con la meditación y potenciando la atención plena durante la realización de las actividades cotidianas.…”

Results: In the MBSR group, scores in anxiety and depression decreased at post-treatment assessment whereas quality of life scores increased. These differences reached statistical significance. In the psychoeducational group only state anxiety scores decreased at posttreatment, with the difference reaching statistical significance.Conclusions: MBSR produces higher improvements in emotional states and quality of

“…55,56 The effect of education in mindful communication has been examined in physicians in a structured training program, which produced 4 main themes of feedback from participants: (1) participants felt a decrease in sense of personal isolation; (2) mindfulness training helped physicians listen more deeply and attend to the patient' s concerns more effectively; (3) adaptive reserve was increased; and (4) participants experienced a feeling of greater selfawareness that proved, in many cases, to be transformative. 57,58 Mindfulness may also support more thoughtful decision-making and can enhance empathic communication. Precedent in the use of mindfulness exists in law and business, where it is used to reduce reactivity in stressful situations.…”

Physician health and wellness is a critical issue gaining national attention because of the high prevalence of physician burnout. Pediatricians and pediatric trainees experience burnout at levels equivalent to other medical specialties, highlighting a need for more effective efforts to promote health and well-being in the pediatric community. This report will provide an overview of physician burnout, an update on work in the field of preventive physician health and wellness, and a discussion of emerging initiatives that have potential to promote health at all levels of pediatric training.Pediatricians are uniquely positioned to lead this movement nationally, in part because of the emphasis placed on wellness in the Pediatric Milestone Project, a joint collaboration between the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Pediatrics. Updated core competencies calling for a balanced approach to health, including focus on nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and effective stress management, signal a paradigm shift and send the message that it is time for pediatricians to cultivate a culture of wellness better aligned with their responsibilities as role models and congruent with advances in pediatric training.Rather than reviewing programs in place to address substance abuse and other serious conditions in distressed physicians, this article focuses on forward progress in the field, with an emphasis on the need for prevention and anticipation of predictable stressors related to burnout in medical training and practice. Examples of positive progress and several programs designed to promote physician health and wellness are reviewed. Areas where more research is needed are highlighted. Pediatrics 2014;134:830-835 INTRODUCTIONPhysician health and wellness is an issue garnering national interest because of the high prevalence of burnout in medical practitioners and trainees. Burnout takes a steep toll on physicians and has negative effects on patients and health care systems. 1 Research advances detailing the detrimental effects of chronic stress, including impaired immune function, inflammation, elevation of cardiovascular risk factors, and depression, 2-9 are directly relevant to pediatric practitioners and create a need for organized efforts to address physician health and well-being in the pediatric community. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the issue of physician health and wellness with regard to how they relate to pediatricians. Rather than reviewing programs already in place to address substance abuse and other serious conditions in distressed physicians, this report focuses on forward progress in the field, with an emphasis on the need for prevention and anticipation of predictable stressors related to burnout in medical training and practice. Although specific recommendations are beyond the parameters of this report, examples of positive progress and national programs to promote physician health and wellness will be reviewed.

Mindfulness broadly describes an open and receptive awareness of current experience that involves the self-regulation of attention, keeping it focussed on the present moment in order to develop greater awareness and recognition of mental events. Research has shown that dispositional mindfulness is positively associated with measures of psychological well-being, including workrelated measures such as job satisfaction, work engagement, and work-family balance. Furthermore, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) delivered to employees have been found to decrease perceived stress, burnout, and depression, and to improve life satisfaction, mood, and sleep quality.The current project extends that body of research by investigating the effects of mindfulness on a range of workplace outcomes that have previously received little empirical investigation, including co-worker relationship quality, innovative behaviours, resistance to change, and engagement and thriving at work. The current research also proposed and investigated a number of mechanisms to explain the effects of mindfulness on these workplace outcomes. Specifically, the proposal drew on previous research suggesting that mindfulness leads to more adaptive functioning and greater selfregulation by increasing cognitive flexibility, positive reappraisal, and positive affect.An initial cross-sectional study of 184 office workers found that dispositional mindfulness was associated with all five workplace outcomes, and that the association with each was fully mediated by one or more of the three proposed mechanisms. Specifically, mindfulness was associated with co-worker relationship quality and thriving at work via positive reappraisal and positive affect, whereas it was associated with innovative behaviours and less resistance to change via cognitive flexibility alone. On the other hand, cognitive flexibility, positive reappraisal, and positive affect all mediated the association between mindfulness and work engagement.A follow-up study found that a 4-week workplace MBI delivered to 131 employees, including office workers, school teachers, cleaners, and senior executives, improved self-reports of mindfulness, positive reappraisal, and negative affect. An additional novel finding was that the MBI reduced dispositional resistance to change. The study also found an unexpected decrease in innovative behaviours following the intervention, but this result may have been an artefact of the measure that was used. No significant pre-post changes were found in the other measures.The current project also investigated the mechanisms of change during the workplace MBI by looking at the correlations between changes in different measures, and by analysing weekly changes during the intervention. Results indicated that decreases in resistance to change correlated with increases in mindfulness, suggesting that mindfulness may have mediated that improvement.iii In contrast, improvements in reappraisal and reductions in negative affect and innovative behaviours were not correla...
