Qualitative study on the perceived effects of Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion one year after its implementation

This research aimed to explore the perceived effects of a Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion program among healthcare workers at a Colombian hospital one year after its implementation. This was a qualitative study. Sixteen workers of said hospital (n = 14 female; n = 2 male) between 27 and 65 years old participated. A thematic analysis was conducted based on interview responses. The intervention demonstrated significant effects on self-awareness, emotions, social interaction, healthy habits, and coping with stress. Moreover, the impact of the program got beyond the workplace and influenced various aspects of participants’ daily lives. It is concluded that the program’s positive effects on participants persisted one year after its implementation.
