Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of intervention based on mindfulness and acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT) in the recovery from job burnout. The 8-week intervention is delivered using jointly face-to-face group meetings and web-based program. The study hypothesizes that the Muupu-program is more effective than the normal practices when promoting work well-being in Finland. The participants are recruited from Finland.
Detailed Description
Mindfulness-ACT-based interventions aren't widely used in Finnish work health care a the moment. This study examines the possibility of using this kind of intervention for reducing job burnout and stress and also promoting well-being at work. Muupu-program is standardized and can be administered in varying settings. If intervention is effective, it can have an impact on Finnish practices when treating job burnout and work-related stress.
