Objectives

Mindfulness practice has been recommended as part of health and social care education and training because of its potential benefits in fostering clinical skills and attitudes, increasing self-care, and reducing the effect of stress in education and occupation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on stress, physical distress, job burnout, work engagement, and empathy for health and social care education.

Methods

Students (N = 124) from postgraduate programs in social work, counseling, and family therapy were recruited. Sixty-four students participated in an 8-week MBSR program as an elective course. Sixty students were recruited from other elective courses in the same cohort as control group participants. All participants completed self-report assessments.

Results

The results suggested that MBSR was associated with significant improvements in perceived efficacy and vigor and significant reductions in physical distress, total job burnout, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization of clients compared with the control group.

Conclusions

This study contributes to the growing body of literature highlighting the potential use of mindfulness practice to improve students’ personal well-being and professional growth in health and social care education. Mindfulness practice should be further promoted in health and social care education and training.

方法

 招募了来自社会工作、咨询和家庭治疗研究生课程的学生（N = 124）。64 名学生参加了为期 8 周的 MBSR 课程作为选修课。60 名学生是从与对照组参与者相同的队列中的其他选修课程中招募的。所有参与者都完成了自我报告评估。

结果

结果表明，与对照组相比，MBSR 与感知效能和活力的显着改善以及身体痛苦、工作倦怠、情绪衰竭和客户人格解体的显着减少有关。

结论

这项研究有助于越来越多的文献强调正念练习的潜在用途，以改善学生在健康和社会关怀教育中的个人幸福感和专业成长。应在健康和社会关怀教育培训中进一步推广正念练习。
