(1) Background: Occupational stress is high in academia, and is partly related to time pressure. Mindfulness-based programs are known to be effective in reducing stress and increasing well-being. Recent work suggested that these programs may also improve time management. This study tested the effects of a mindfulness-based program on academics' psychological flexibility, mental health, well-being, and time management. (2) Methods: The study was conducted in a French research department. Participants were offered to join a mindfulness-based program (n = 21) or to be on a wait-list control group (n = 22). Self-reported measures of psychological flexibility, mental health (stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms), well-being, and time use were collected before and after the eight week program. (3) Results: Results showed that psychological flexibility, mental health, well-being, and efficient time use significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control condition. (4) Conclusions: The results suggested that the mindfulness-based programs were effective in improving adaptive functioning, well-being, and optimal time use in academia, thus underlining potential useful perspectives to help academics improve mental health and time management.
（1）背景：学术界的职业压力很大，部分与时间压力有关。基于正念的项目已知在减轻压力和增进幸福感方面有效。近期研究表明，这些项目或许还能改善时间管理。本研究测试了一个基于正念的项目对学者心理灵活性、心理健康、幸福感和时间管理的影响。（2）方法：该研究在法国一个研究部门开展。参与者被邀请加入一个基于正念的项目（n = 21）或进入候补对照组（n = 22）。在为期八周的项目前后，收集了关于心理灵活性、心理健康（压力、焦虑和抑郁症状）、幸福感以及时间利用情况的自我报告测量数据。（3）结果：结果显示，与对照组相比，干预组的心理灵活性、心理健康、幸福感以及高效时间利用显著提高。（4）结论：结果表明，基于正念的项目在改善学术界的适应性功能、幸福感和最佳时间利用方面有效，从而凸显了帮助学者改善心理健康和时间管理的潜在有益前景。
