A randomized controlled trial of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in Chilean health workers

Description

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of MBSR to reduce psychological distress in health professionals and determine how it relates to psychosocial risk factors. Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups: Those in the MBSR group participate in a MBSR program, as was originally developed, to complete eight weekly group sessions of 2.5 hours, which they continue to do independently at home. Those in the Stress Management Training group will participate in a 20-hour psychoeducational course on self-care and stress management. The third group will be included in a waiting list and will be offered participation on MBSR or Stress Management Training based on their personal preferences once the trial has ended. Measures of psychological distress, burnout, perceived stress, symptom distress, interpersonal relations and social role, job satisfaction, number of sick leaves in the previous three months, mindfulness skills, job satisfaction and other quality-of-life indicators will be measured at baseline (T0), following the intervention (T1) and after six months (T2).
