Mindfulness and Covid-19 stress syndrome: an exploratory investigation into the effects of mindfulness interventions on Covid-19 related stress
| Resumo: | The Covid-19 pandemic has led researchers to consider that what used to be considered phobia of a certain disease may actually be an adjustment disorder related to a specific psychosocial stressor, which is being referred to as Covid Stress Syndrome (Taylor, 2021).This study aims to explore the impact of a brief mindfulness intervention on Covid-19 related stress, using the recently developed Covid Stress Scales (CSS; Taylor et al., 2020).Based on a literature review, it is hypothesized that state mindfulness reducesCovid-19 related stress. The results of this study (N = 91) showed significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. However, contrary to the initial hypothesis, participants in the mindfulness group reported higher levels of covid stress than participants in the mind-wandering group |
