Introduction
A 6-week mindfulness training course, the Mind–Body Medicine (MBM) pilot program for staff, was implemented at a large military treatment facility to examine the preliminary efficacy of the program in reducing stress and burnout in military healthcare professionals.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted of data collected from a single-arm prospective MBM pilot program. The program was designed to help staff members increase their awareness of burnout and its consequences and to learn how to utilize mindfulness-based self-care practices as a means for reducing stress and preventing burnout at work. Participants attended a 2-hour MBM group each week for a total duration of 6 weeks. Assessments of stress, resilience, anxiety, somatic symptoms, functional impairment, sleep quality, quality of life, and burnout were administered at baseline (T1), upon completion of the 6-week program (T2), and at least 3 months after program completion (T3). Multilevel modeling was used as the primary statistical model to assess changes in outcomes. Fifty-nine staff members completed assessments at T1, 31 (52.5%) at T2, and 17 (28.8%) at T3.
Results
Participants showed improvements on scores of perceived stress, resilience, anxiety, somatic symptoms, quality of life, and burnout variables from T1 to T2 and from T1 to T3 (P |

Results
Participants showed improvements on scores of perceived stress, resilience, anxiety, somatic symptoms, quality of life, and burnout variables from T1 to T2 and from T1 to T3 (P < .05). Additionally, they reported improvements in their knowledge, understanding, and utilization of MBM concepts and practices from T1 to T2 and from T1 to T3 (P < .05).
Conclusions
Results from this pilot suggest that the MBM program has the potential to reduce occupational stress and burnout and improve well-being in military healthcare professionals.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0026-4075</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1930-613X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usab389</identifier><identifier>PMID: 34626185</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>US: Oxford University Press</publisher><subject>Burnout ; Burnout, Professional - prevention & control ; Delivery of Health Care ; Humans ; Medical personnel ; Medically Unexplained Symptoms ; Military health care ; Military Personnel ; Mind-Body Therapies ; Mindfulness ; Mindfulness - methods ; Pilot Projects ; Prospective Studies ; Quality of Life ; Retrospective Studies ; Well being</subject><ispartof>Military medicine, 2023-05, Vol.188 (5-6), p.e1140-e1149</ispartof><rights>Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2021.
