Abstract

Introduction: Work-related stress is a common concern in contemporary work environments, affecting employees physical and psychological health. It is essential to identify effective interventions to mitigate stress and its associated health risks. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have gained attention as promising methods for stress reduction and mental health improvement. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of Mindfulness therapy for stress prevention among workers.   Method: A systematic review following Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations. The databases searched were PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest and Sage Journal. Search was conducted in February 2025. The review synthesizes evidence from recent studies published between 2020 and 2025. Keywords used included 'Mindfulness therapy,' 'stress prevention,' 'occupational stress,' and 'worker well-being.' The inclusion criteria encompassed focusing on adult workers aged 18 to 60. Articles not involving workers or focusing on non-occupational stress were excluded.   Result: A total of 14 studies were included, comprising randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, systematic reviews and observational studies. Findings consistently demonstrated that Mindfulness interventions, such as Mindful Breathing, Mindfulness Meditation, and Body Scan Meditation, effectively reduce stress levels among workers. The results support the adoption of Mindfulness-based practices in occupational health programs. Implementing Mindfulness interventions in the workplace could reduce stress and enhance employee well-being. However, some studies reported variability in the effectiveness based on intervention duration and participant engagement   Conclusion: Mindfulness therapy is a viable strategy for preventing occupational stress. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and optimize intervention delivery in diverse workplace settings.   Keywords: Mindfulness, occupational health nursing, stress;worker

Abstract

Introduction: The growing demand for continuous professional development (CPD) within the healthcare sector has emphasized the importance of tailored training for various professional roles, including those of occupational health nurses. In Indonesia, there remains a need to better understand the specific job functions and development needs of nurses working in occupational health settings to ensure effective practice and optimal patient outcomes. Objective: This study was conducted to map out the roles performed by occupational health nurses in Indonesia and to identify key areas where additional training is most needed. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional approach was employed, involving 43 occupational health nurses selected via simple random sampling. Data were gathered using the validated Indonesian adaptation of the Hennessy-Hicks Training Needs Analysis Questionnaire, which evaluates competencies across five domains: research and audit, communication and teamwork, clinical practice, administrative tasks, and leadership or supervisory roles. To determine areas of significant training need, independent t-tests were performed for each questionnaire item. Results: The analysis revealed considerable training requirements in 38 of the assessed items. The domain most urgently requiring development was research and audit, which had the highest mean score (2.07). This was followed by clinical functions and management (both 1.65), mental health and resilience-related skills (1.32), collaboration and communication (1.22), and administrative functions (0.58). Conclusion: The findings point to a clear need for competency-based training initiatives, with particular emphasis on strengthening research and audit capabilities among occupational health nurses. Healthcare institutions in Indonesia are advised to implement structured educational programs alongside continuous evaluation systems to foster professional advancement and maintain high standards of care.
