Comparative study on the status of mental well-being among regularly meditating and non-meditating health care personnel in Sri Lanka
Journal of the College of Community Physicians April 27, 2022 Wasantha Gunathunga, Oshadi Jayakody, Larrissa Bartlett et al.
Health care personnel who meditated regularly had higher mental well-being and lower depression than non-meditators six months after a structured Vipassana-informed mindfulness meditation program. The study compared 60 health care workers from a primarily Buddhist population using the Primary Mental Health Questionnaire and the CES-D depression scale. Regular meditators scored significantly better on both measures. The findings suggest that this simple, low-cost meditation approach may help improve mental well-being among health care professionals.
