First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week mindfulness booster course (30-minute weekly sessions) can reduce stress in 186 UK healthcare staff who have already completed a mindfulness course. Participants are randomly assigned to the booster or usual care, and they fill out stress questionnaires at the start, middle, and end of the 20-week study. The goal is to see if the booster helps lower stress and if the benefits last.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help healthcare staff manage stress and prevent burnout.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 186 participants. The intervention is brief (30-minute sessions) and relies on self-reported stress, so results may not be generalizable or long-lasting.
