Abstract

A pragmatic mindfulness intervention to benefit personnel working in chronically high-stress environments, delivered onsite during the workday, is timely and valuable to employee and employer alike. Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is a Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI) offered as a modified, less time intensive method (compared to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), delivered onsite, during work, and intends to enable busy working adults to experience the benefits of mindfulness. It teaches mindful awareness principles, rehearses mindfulness as a group, emphasizes the use of gentle yoga stretches, and utilizes relaxing music in the background of both the group sessions and individual mindfulness practice. MIM is delivered in a group format, for 1 hr/week/8 weeks. CDs and a DVD are provided to facilitate individual practice. The yoga movement is emphasized in the protocol to facilitate a quieting of the mind. The music is included for participants to associate the relaxed state experienced in the group session with their individual practice. To determine the intervention feasibility/efficacy we conducted a randomized wait-list control group in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). ICUs represent a high-stress work environment where personnel experience chronic exposure to catastrophic situations as they care for seriously injured/ill patients. Despite high levels of work-related stress, few interventions have been developed and delivered onsite for such environments. The intervention is delivered on site in the ICU, during work hours, with participants receiving time release to attend sessions. The intervention is well received with 97% retention rate. Work engagement and resiliency increase significantly in the intervention group, compared to the wait-list control group, while participant respiration rates decrease significantly pre-post in 6/8 of the weekly sessions. Participants value institutional support, relaxing music, and the instructor as pivotal to program success. This provides evidence that MIM is feasible, well accepted, and can be effectively implemented in a chronically high-stress work environment.

  • Mindfulness in Motion uniquely combines yoga and mindfulness, attempting to glean the benefits of both mind-body approaches.

    “Mindfulness in Motion uniquely combines yoga and mindfulness, attempting to glean the benefits of both of these mind-body approaches.40”

    From Mindfulness in Motion for People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study. (2017) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Introduction describes MIM as teaching mindful awareness and emphasizing gentle yoga stretches, so the combination is supported. But it also says traditional MBSR uses mindfulness meditation and yoga postures; the paper therefore does not support calling that combination unique to MIM. The passages supplied have section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Mindfulness in Motion has been shown to be an effective low-cost stress-reduction intervention to improve quality of sleep and perceived stress in healthy adults.

    “has been shown to be an effective lowcost stress-reduction intervention to improve quality of sleep and perceived stress in healthy adults.40,41”

    From Mindfulness in Motion for People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study. (2017) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Abstract (page not provided) reports that Mindfulness in Motion was feasible in an ICU workplace and increased staff resilience and work engagement; the Representative Results also report reduced respiration rates during sessions. The paper does not report improved sleep quality or perceived-stress scores, establish that the intervention was low-cost, or test it in a general population of healthy adults. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.

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.
