Mindfulness Exercises Reduce Acute Physiologic Stress Among Female Clinicians
Clinician stress levels (HRV) improved after participating in grounding, deep breathing, and body scan meditations, which may highlight their importance as stress reduction tools for clinicians. Monitoring of HRV during mindfulness exercises may provide deeper understanding of which specific exercises produce the greatest physiologic stress reduction for individual participants and the trend of these changes over time.
