A systematic search and critical appraisal of interdisciplinary literature was conducted to evaluate the evidence for practicing mindfulness to treat job burnout and to explore implications for occupational therapy practitioners.
Eight articles met inclusion criteria. Each study was assessed for quality using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. We used the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research guidelines to determine strength of evidence.
Of the studies reviewed, participants included health care professionals and teachers; no studies included occupational therapy practitioners. Six of the 8 studies demonstrated statistically significant decreases in job burnout after mindfulness training. Seven of the studies were of fair to good quality.
There is strong evidence for the use of mindfulness practice to reduce job burnout among health care professionals and teachers. Research is needed to fill the gap on whether mindfulness is effective for treating burnout in occupational therapy practitioners.
对跨学科文献进行系统检索和批判性评价,以评估正念实践治疗职业倦怠的证据,并探讨对职业治疗从业者的影响。
符合纳入标准的有 8 篇文章。使用物理治疗证据数据库量表评估每项研究的质量。我们使用美国医疗保健政策和研究机构的指南来确定证据的强度。
在所审查的研究中,参与者包括医护人员和教师;没有研究包括职业治疗从业者。8 项研究中有 6 项表明正念训练后职业倦怠显著降低。其中 7 项研究的质量为中等至良好。
有强有力的证据表明正念实践可减少医护人员和教师的职业倦怠。需要研究正念是否对职业治疗从业者的倦怠治疗有效,以填补这一空白。
