Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted healthcare providers' (HCPs) psychological well-being.
  • Frontline HCPs faced significant psychological distress during the pandemic.
  • Need for effective interventions to support HCP mental health was critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of brief mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on HCPs' psychological well-being, resilience, and anxiety.
  • To compare the impact of MBI versus PMR on psychological outcomes in HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized trial involving 147 frontline HCPs during July-August 2020.
  • Participants received a 2-week virtual intervention: either brief MBI or PMR.
  • Pre- and post-intervention assessments used validated scales for anxiety, resilience, and well-being.

Main Results:

  • 125 HCPs completed the study; both MBI and PMR groups showed significant improvements in psychological well-being and state anxiety.
  • No significant changes were observed in trait anxiety or resilience.
  • Brief MBI demonstrated a higher improvement rate (81.3%) in psychological well-being compared to PMR (51.8%).

Conclusions:

  • Both brief MBI and PMR effectively enhanced psychological well-being and reduced anxiety in HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Brief MBI offered a slightly greater positive impact on psychological well-being compared to PMR.
  • These findings highlight the utility of accessible psychological interventions for supporting frontline healthcare workers' mental health.
