The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of two mindfulness interventions for stress, anxiety and burnout in mental health professionals. Participants will receive the treatments in reverse order: a brief intervention based on body-centered exercises and another brief intervention based on sitting meditation. It is hypothesized that both interventions will decrease stress and anxiety levels and professional burnout, with mindfulness body-centered exercises being at least as effective as mindfulness meditations.
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of two mindfulness interventions for stress, anxiety and burnout in mental health professionals. It is a 2-sequence, 2-period, 2-treatment crossover design with sequences AB and BA. Treatment A consists of a block of five sessions of bodyfulness exercises, whereas experimental treatment B consists of a block of five sessions of sitting mindfulness meditation exercises. In the sixth session, the exercise blocks will be exchanged. Each group will be composed of half the sample, with a initial sample of 130. The principal hypothesis is that both interventions will decrease stress and anxiety levels and professional burnout, with body-centered exercises being at least as effective as mindfulness sitting meditations. Secondarily, the personality type will be analyzed as a moderating variable in those variables in which the interventions will be effective. Third, a qualitative study will be conducted in order to analyze the perceptions of change and experiences in Cuban mental health professionals who are beginner meditators. This study will allow to understand the differential effectiveness of bodyfulness and midfulness and what types of personality may benefit most from different types of meditation interventions. Also, it will hell to get a deeper understanding of mindfulness practice in a new cultural context (i.e., Cuba). A previous pilot study will be conduct to investigate the acceptability and effectiveness of a culturally-adapted mindfulness-based intervention in Cuba.
