Being mindful at work and at home
2018
In this daily diary study, we examined the moderating role of employee domain‐specific mindfulness within the stressor–detachment model (Sonnentag & Fritz, 2015, Journal of Organizational Behavior, 36, 72). According to the stressor–detachment model, emotional and quantitative demands should be associated with decreased psychological detachment after work, which in turn is associated with decreased well‐being (i.e., low positive affect and high negative affect) at bedtime. Moreover, we proposed that both mindfulness at work and home should buffer the relations between job demands and psychological detachment and between psychological detachment and well‐being. Sixty‐five employees compl…
Developing mindful organizing in teams: a participation climate is not enough, teams need to feel safe to challenge their leaders
2020
ABSTRACT Mindful organizing (also known as collective mindfulness) is a collective capability that allows teams to anticipate and swiftly recover from unexpected events. This collective capability is especially relevant in high-risk environments where reliability in performance is of utmost importance. In this paper, we build on current mindful organizing theory by showing how two front-line communication and participatory conditions (perceived safety for upward dissent and climate for employee engagement) interact to predict mindful organizing. We shed light on the controversy around mindful organizing’s effect on team’s subjective experience at work by showing that it leads to…
Promoting Wellbeing in Pregnancy: A Multi-component Positive Psychology and Mindfulness-Based Mobile App
2019
Pregnancy involves important changes for women of all ages: it is a time of physical and psychological change. Women may experience anxiety and negative emotions, which can negatively influence their wellbeing and make difficult their adaptation to the new role of mothers. Furthermore, poor mental well-being and difficulties in emotion regulation can negatively affect obstetric outcomes, development of the child and neonatal adaptation. The aim of this work is to present a new self-applied multi-component positive psychology- and mindfulness-based intervention (MPPMI) supported by a mobile App addressed to pregnant women. The core of this MPPMI is to combine traditional positive psychology …
Psychometric properties of the Spanish validation of the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ)
2012
Background and Objectives: Mindfulness-based therapies have demonstrat- ed effectiveness in many clinical contexts. Various therapies that train mindfulness skills have proliferated in recent years. There is increasing interest in mindfulness-based thera- pies and in incorporating instruments that measure mindfulness in order to understand its role in clinical and basic research. The Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) is a questionnaire for measuring mindfulness; it was derived from a factor analysis of five different questionnaires that measure a trait-like general tendency to be mindful in daily life. The objective of this study is to validate the FFMQ in a Spanish sample. Me…
Promoting Sustainability: The Effects of Workplace Mindfulness Training
2018
Mindfulness training is enjoying growing popularity in workplaces. In the current study, the effects of workplace mindfulness training were evaluated using quantitative and qualitative methods. The study’s novelty value arises from the implementation of workplace training among factory employees and the mixed-methods approach to evaluation. The quasi-experimental design with training and control groups included pre- and postmeasurements and four focus group interviews. The results of the pre-post-test indicated that, compared with the participants in the control group, the participants in the mindfulness-based training group displayed significantly greater increases in mindfulness, positive…
Neurosurgical post-operative complications with incidental life-saving findings
2021
Abstract Neurosurgery is one of the most complex disciplines, requiring skillfulness and ability to try to cure nervous pathologies. Despite the role of this surgery in the inviolability of life, complications are relatively likely. Complications are frustrating and they contribute to produce a wrong but physiologic guilty conscience. However, sometimes they can have a sense over the rationale. In our study, we present two examples of post-operative complications of common neurosurgical pathologies. We compared our experience with the complications reported in literature and analyzed the importance of seeing the patients in their entirety, so encouraging a mindful approach in our medical da…

Los estudiantes autistas a menudo experimentan trastornos de ansiedad (TA) como una condición concurrente y se asocia con un deterioro funcional considerable. La universidad proporciona apoyo académico a los estudiantes con discapacidad, sin embargo, pocas instituciones proporcionan apoyos preventivos a los estudiantes TEA-AF. Entre las necesidades más solicitadas se encuentra el apoyo para hacer frente a ansiedad derivada de la propia actividad académica y social. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es demostrar el nivel de eficacia de un breve programa en de una forma modificada de MBCT, Programa de Intervención Cognitivo Conductual para Ansiedad PICCA, en la reducción de los niveles de an…
Individual mindfulness and objective performance. An experimental approach
2023
El interés por el mindfulness se debe a que parece tener un impacto positivo en el funcionamiento del ser humano (Brown et al., 2007). Así, diferentes estudios sugieren que el mindfulness es una herramienta para tratar diferentes trastornos psicológicos y físicos (Baer, 2003; Chiesa y Malinowski, 2011). En esta dirección, un creciente número de trabajos también sugieren que estos efectos positivos mencionados pueden extenderse al entorno organizacional (Hyland et al., 2015; Reb & Choi, 2014; Sutcliffe et al., 2016). Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que se han centrado en analizar la relación entre mindfulness y el rendimiento individual (Dane, 2011). Esto puede explicarse por el hecho …
Bifactor analysis and construct validity of the five facet mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ) in non-clinical Spanish samples
2015
The objective of the present study was to examine the dimensionality, reliability, and construct validity of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in three Spanish samples using structural equation modeling (SEM). Pooling the FFMQ data from 3 Spanish samples (n = 1191), we estimated the fit of two competing models (correlated five-factor vs. bifactor) via confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial invariance of the best fitting model across meditative practice was also addressed. The pattern of relationships between the FFMQ latent dimensions and anxiety, depression, and distress was analyzed using SEM. FFMQ reliability was examined by computing the omega and omega hierarchical c…
