摘要

Introduction

Healthcare workers are disproportionately affected by mental health issues that lead to extended periods of sick leave. In light of the current shortage of skilled professionals, promoting mental health has become increasingly important. Mindfulness-based approaches are considered evidence-based and effective. Certified mindfulness teachers play a key role in delivering such programs. However, empirical data on successful implementation in healthcare settings from the perspective of teachers are still scarce. This study aimed to identify perceived barriers and facilitating factors.

Methods

A semi-structured online questionnaire was used to survey certified mindfulness teachers who offer courses for healthcare employees.

Results

A total of 43 mindfulness teachers participated. Reported individual-level barriers among healthcare workers included lack of time, scheduling conflicts, and high levels of perceived stress. On the institutional level, staff shortages and high rates of absenteeism hinder participation. Facilitators at the individual level included experiences of self-efficacy and the acquisition of stress management skills. On the institutional level, leadership support and counting course participation as working hours were key enablers.

Conclusion

The results highlight a strong need for stress management courses. Mindfulness-based programs are perceived as helpful, but their effective implementation strongly depends on both behavioral and structural factors. Successful implementation requires the interplay of individual motivation and institutional anchoring, such as integration into workplace health management and human resource development.
