What the evidence shows
  • Mindfulness-based interventions are associated with reduced burnout and improved wellbeing among healthcare professionals working in high-stress environments.
(Reference: Shapiro et al., 2005, Journal of Behavioural Medicine)

  • In a pilot randomised controlled trial with primary care physicians, a brief mindfulness-based curriculum led to significant improvements in stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalisation, compared with a waitlist control.
