The Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on the Psychological Functioning of Healthcare Professionals: a Systematic Review
Open accessAbstract
Burnout and occupational stress are frequently experienced by healthcare professionals (HCPs). Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has been found to improve the psychological health outcomes of HCPs. To date, systematic reviews and meta-analyses have primarily focused upon empirical investigations into the reduction of stress amongst HCPs using MBSR and are limited to empirical studies published before December 2019. This systematic review aimed to update the current evidence base and broaden our understanding of the effectiveness of MBSR on improving the psychological functioning of HCPs. Three electronic databases (Medline, Psych Info and Web of Science) were searched without time frame restrictions. Quantitative studies included randomised controlled trials, clinical controlled trials, pre-post designs and studies with up to a 12-month follow-up period. All studies included in the review employed a MBSR programme, standardised measures of psychological functioning and qualified HCPs as participants. Using PRISMA guidelines thirty studies were included in the review. The reviewed literature suggested that MBSR was effective in reducing HCPs experiences of anxiety, depression and stress. MBSR was also found to be effective in increasing HCP levels of mindfulness and self-compassion. However, MBSR did not appear as effective in reducing burnout or improving resilience amongst HCPs. Abbreviated MBSR programmes were found to be as effective as the traditional 8-week MBSR programmes. MBSR is an effective intervention which can help improve the psychological functioning of HCPs. Recommendations include improving the overall quality of the studies by employing more robust controlled designs with randomisation, increased sample sizes with heterogeneous samples, and making active comparisons between interventions used.

“This supported Shapiro et al.’s (2006) theory that mindfulness has three mechanisms (intention, attention and attitude)”

In “Proposing ‘a’ Theory,” Shapiro et al. identify intention, attention, and attitude as three fundamental components or axioms of mindfulness, not as its three mechanisms. The same section calls reperceiving a meta-mechanism and identifies four additional potential mechanisms. The citation supports the three-part model but mislabels its parts as mechanisms.

In Results, under “Impact of MBSR on Health and Wellness Measures” (page not supplied), the paper reports statistically significant improvements in the SF-12 mental-health measures from baseline to postintervention. It reports no significant change from postintervention to the 4-month follow-up and says this suggests the improvements were maintained. (LLM, conf=0.94)

The Methods (Measures; page unavailable) identify the DASS-21, but describe use of its stress scale rather than reporting an anxiety outcome. The Results (page unavailable) report a significant decrease on the DASS stress subscale in the intervention group; a search for anxiety findings found no anxiety-specific result for this study. The copy therefore does not establish whether its anxiety finding was non-significant. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
