Implementation of a Mindfulness-based Crisis Intervention for Frontline Healthcare Workers During the COVID-19 Outbreak in a Public General Hospital in Madrid, Spain

Mindfulness-based interventions help healthcare professionals to reduce stress and may foster resilience and recovery, although they have never been tested in a context such as the current one. This single-arm trial explores the acceptability, safety and usefulness of an on-site, brief Mindfulness-based intervention to reduce stress for front line health workers during a crisis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All frontline healthcare workers present in the ward at the time of intervention
