Working from home comes with many benefits. However, employees are often exposed to various stressors when working outside of the traditional workplace environment. The subjective experience of these stressors is related to one's perception of the situation and the perceived resources available. As working from home has become the new normal for many during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is in the interest of companies to provide employees with tools to cope with these stressors. One such tool is online mindfulness training. This study investigates how a four-week online mindfulness training influences an individual's mindfulness skills, subjective perception, and processing of stressors. Forty participants working from home at the time of the study were examined in a pre-test using a pre-post design in which the experimental group participated in a four-week online training course in mindfulness. Since the results showed a significantly reduced subjective perception of stress in the experimental group after mindfulness training, a long-term study was conducted including 40 additional participants. The study revealed a training success of at least three months. It thus introduces new possibilities for effective stress management in all workplace settings.
居家办公有许多好处。然而，员工在传统工作场所环境之外工作时，往往会面临各种压力源。这些压力源的主观体验与个人对情况的感知和感知到的可用资源有关。由于在 COVID-19 大流行期间，许多人已经习惯了在家办公，因此公司有兴趣为员工提供应对这些压力源的工具。其中一种工具是在线正念训练。本研究调查了四周的在线正念训练如何影响个体的正念技能、主观感知和压力源的处理。在研究期间，有 40 名在家工作的参与者参加了一项预-后设计的预测试，其中实验组参加了为期四周的在线正念训练课程。由于正念训练后实验组的压力主观感知显著降低，因此进行了一项包括另外 40 名参与者的长期研究。研究结果显示，培训成功至少持续了三个月。因此，它为所有工作场所环境中的有效压力管理提供了新的可能性。
