Abbreviated Mindfulness Intervention for Job Satisfaction, Quality of Life, and Compassion in Primary Care Clinicians: A Pilot Study

This pilot study, published in Annals of Family Medicine, investigated whether an abbreviated mindfulness intervention could increase job satisfaction, quality of life, and compassion among primary care clinicians. The study included 30 primary care clinicians who participated in an abbreviated mindfulness course and were assessed for burnout, anxiety, stress, resilience, and compassion at 4 points in time. The study found that an abbreviated mindfulness training course adapted for primary care clinicians was associated with reductions in indicators of job burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress. The authors conclude that modified mindfulness training may be a time-efficient tool to help support clinician health and well-being, which may have implications for patient care.
