Overview
Brief Summary
Healthcare professionals, particularly those working in Intensive Care Units, experience high levels of stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue due to the demanding nature of their work. These factors can negatively impact their mental health, job satisfaction, and the quality of patient care provided. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) have emerged as a promising approach to mitigate stress and burnout. MBIs cultivate present moment awareness and emotional regulation, potentially fostering resilience and reducing stress. We could not find any studies reported from India on MBIs in healthcare professionals. A recent editorial suggest the urgent need for studies on reducing stress and burnout in healthcare professionals working in Indian ICUs. We plan to assess the effectiveness of a MBI in improving mindfulness and reducing stress and burnout for ICU physicians and nurses.
