Changes in hair cortisol and self-reported stress measures following mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR): A proof-of-concept study in pediatric hematology-oncology professionals.

Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice October 23, 2020 Martin Lamothe, É. Rondeau, Michel Duval et al.

A mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program for pediatric hematology-oncology professionals did not change biological stress (hair cortisol concentrations), but improved self-reported measures of perceived stress, psychological distress, and burnout. Effects were maintained over three months for psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Larger improvements occurred among participants who attended a retreat and those with higher baseline perceived stress.

Outcomes of MBSR or MBSR-based interventions in health care providers: A systematic review with a focus on empathy and emotional competencies.

Complementary Therapies in Medicine February 1, 2016 Martin Lamothe, É. Rondeau, Catherine Malboeuf-Hurtubise et al.

A systematic review of 39 studies on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for healthcare providers found that MBSR is associated with improvements in burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression. Only 14 of the 39 studies measured empathy or emotional competencies. Evidence suggests improvements in empathy, but no clear evidence is currently available on emotional competencies such as identifying one's own emotions, identifying others' emotions, and emotional acceptance. High-quality evidence supports MBSR's effect on professionals' mental health, but capacities central to care remain scarcely studied.
