Overview
Brief Summary
The COVID-19 outbreak is having an impact on the well-being of healthcare workers. Previous reports on pandemics show that such an impact may last beyond the time of the outbreak. 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.
