Current research states the benefits of implementing mindfulness within the workplace. In large corporations, financial and personnel resources for a mindfulness-based intervention may exist, but successfully implementing interventions within a corporation may also require changes in the workplace culture as a whole. This study aims to depict the i...
The relationship between happiness and health is a complex and
multifaceted one. In this chapter, we explore past, present and potential future understandings and research of the relationship between happiness and health. By focusing on the specific aspects outlined in the text, researchers can continue to advance our understanding of this importan...
Background
Cigarette smoking remains a leading cause of preventable illness and death, underscoring the need for effective evidence-based smoking cessation interventions. Nuumi, a novel smoking cessation program integrating a digital behavioral therapy and an electronic cigarette, may provide a solution.
Objective
To investigate the initial effica...
Although stress is an everyday fact of life, it can lead to poor health outcomes, particularly when intense or prolonged. However, humans have unique cognitive abilities and thus may be able to combat stress by engaging critical psychological defence mechanisms. In this review, we discuss the field of mind‐body medicine, which focuses on improving...
Shortages of healthcare workers necessitate efforts to promote health and job satisfaction among nursing trainees. The objective was to examine whether participation in a three-part in-person workshop series (needs assessment, exercise, relaxation) leads to changes in health- and work-related outcomes among nursing trainees.
First-year nursing trai...

Introduction and objective: Research has found digitally supported mindfulness interventions (d-MI) to be effective for stress management. Findings on d-MIs among nurses working in acute inpatient care settings are heterogeneous; analyses lack long-term follow-up, and do often not assess intensity of use. This study aimed to investigate the effects...
Editorial // Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is the general term used to describe technology that simulates human cognition, has taken on a prominent role in twenty-first-century clinical practice and medical research. While many medical practitioners decry our increasing reliance on machines, AI has been particularly helpful for detecting and...
The global rise of lifestyle-related chronic diseases has engendered growing interest among various stakeholders including policymakers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and patients, regarding the effective management of health behavior change and the development of interventions that facilitate lifestyle modification. Consequently, a plethor...
Objectives: Positive effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on occupational health have been demonstrated by several systematic review studies during the last two decades. So far, existing reviews excluded mindfulness-informed interventions (MIIs) that build on informal approaches or mixed techniques aiming at improving mindfulness indir...

Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Die Covid-19-Pandemie führte bei den bereits belasteten Pflegefachpersonen zu erhöhten Stressniveaus und erschwerte die Integration von stressreduzierenden Präsenz-Interventionen. Digitale Achtsamkeits-und Meditations-Interventionen (d-MI) zählen zu den wirksamsten Maßnahmen zur Stressreduktion und...
Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Die häufigsten Gründe für einen Berufsausstieg unter Pflegeauszubildenden sind eine zu große körperliche und psychische Belastung. Neben effektiven verhältnispräventiven Maßnahmen sind ebenso wirksame verhaltenspräventive Maßnahmen der betrieblichen Gesundheitsförderung gefordert.
Fragestellung un...
Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Im Rahmen von zwei Projekten wurden (randomisierte) kontrollierte Studien durchgeführt. Ziel der Projekte war es, die Wirksamkeit einer Gesundheitsförderungsintervention bei (angehenden) Pflegefachpersonen zu überprüfen. Auf Basis von Fallzahlkalkulationen sowie einer angenommenen Dropout-Rate von...
Background
Previous research has found digitally supported mindfulness interventions to be effective when used for stress management among workers in high-stress occupations. Findings on digitally supported mindfulness interventions among nurses working in acute inpatient care settings are heterogeneous, lack long-term follow-up, and do not assess...
Individuals affected by cancer usually suffer from psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression and stress in addition to physical complaints. Psycho-oncological interventions to support self-management, strengthen self-efficacy and promote further psychological resources are increasingly gaining interest among those affected. Recent evidence...
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Menschen, die von einer Krebserkrankung betroffen sind, leiden neben körperlichen Beschwerden häufig an psychischen Symptomen wie Angst, Depression und Stress. Psychoonkologische Interventionen zur Unterstützung des Selbstmanagements, Stärkung der Selbstwirksamkeit und Förderung weiterer psychischer Ressourcen sind auf Seiten der Be...
BACKGROUND: Subjective wellbeing (SWB) is a research topic of growing interest for different disciplines. Based on a cross-sectional survey with 1,597 participants aged 12-94, this study investigated life satisfaction and momentary happiness, two important dimensions of SWB. We examined their relationship, shape, and correlates across individuals o...
Background
Health behavior change is among the top recommendations for improving health of patients with lifestyle-related chronic diseases. An array of behavior change techniques (BCTs) have been developed to support behavior change initiation and maintenance. These BCTs often show limited success when they are not informed by theory, leading to a...
Background: Burnout is a widespread, multifactorial, and mainly psychological phenomenon. The pathogenesis of burnout is commonly described within the bio-psycho-social model of health and disease. Recent literature suggests that the phenomenon of burnout may be broader so that the three dimensions might not reflect the multifaceted and complex nat...
Apart from biological, psychological, and socio-environmental factors, initial studies show that spirituality and work culture are also associated with stress management.
Therefore, the commonly applied bio-psycho-social model of health and disease may not be sufficient to comprehensively explain and describe the widespread and multifactorial pheno...
Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Bereits während der Ausbildung sind Pflegefachkräfte mit komplexen Arbeitsanforderungen und -belastungen konfrontiert. Schon länger wird auf die Dringlichkeit stresspräventiver Maßnahmen für (angehende) Pflegefachkräfte hingewiesen (Breinbauer 2020; Rohwer et al. 2021). Auszubildende sind mit der P...
Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung:
Bedingt durch die Pandemie sind Mitarbeitende des Gesundheitswesens derzeit hohen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Dazu zählen z.B. der Kontakt zu infektiösen Patient*innen, Quarantäneerfahrungen sowie das wahrgenommene Gesundheitsrisiko. Studien berichten über erhöhte Stressniveaus, Angst sowie PTBS-Sympt...
Apart from biological, psychological, and social factors, recent studies indicate that spirituality and work culture also play an important role in the onset of burnout. Hence, the commonly applied bio-psycho-social model of health and disease might not be sufficient to comprehensively explain and describe burnout. This study empirically investigat...
Neben den in der Literatur vornehmlich psychologischen Deutungen von Achtsamkeit und Meditation werden heute auch physiologische und neurowissenschaftliche Auswirkungen und Wirkmechanismen von Achtsamkeit und Meditation untersucht. Dabei kann zwischen strukturellen und funktionellen Auswirkungen sowie zwischen neuronalen und molekularen Wirkmechani...

Introduction:
Research on body aspects in depression primarily focuses on somatic complaints, while phenomenologists emphasize the pre-reflective bodily experience of depression as relevant for the psychopathology of it. Despite this increasing acknowledgement of the subjective body's impact on depression, empirically, it remains rarely studied....
Achtsamkeit wird in Anlehnung an Jon Kabat-Zinn vielfach so verstanden: Ich lenke meine Aufmerksamkeit auf den gegenwärtigen Moment, ohne zu bewerten. Als aktueller Gesundheitstrend findet diese Form der Stressbewältigung ihren Weg immer öfter auch in betriebliche Gesundheitsprogramme, z. B. mit Trainingsangeboten zu Yoga, Meditation oder Qigong....
With increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases worldwide, understanding health behavior change and development of successful interventions to support lifestyle modification is gaining increasing interest among politicians, scientists, therapists and patients alike. A number of health behavior change theories have been developed ai...
Increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases worldwide requires better understanding of health behavior change. • Current health behavior change theories rarely take into account automatic, implicit or non-cognitive aspects of behavior, including emotion and positive affect. • Recent progress in the neuroscience of motivation and rew...
Das Burnout-Syndrom, welches in das ICD-11 der WHO als Diagnose aufgenommen wurde, wird zukünftig auf (chronischen) Stress auf der Arbeit zurückgeführt und somit als Stressphänomen externalisiert, obgleich diverse andere Einflussfaktoren auf die Gesundheits- und Krankheitsentstehung diskutiert werden. Neben biologischen, psychologischen und soziale...
We provide evidence that violence in Mexico related to the “war on drugs” from 2006-2011 had a significant negative impact on educational performance that is primarily attributable to acute psychological stress among students in the immediate aftermath of local violence. Using geographically and temporally disaggregated data we demonstrate that the...
INTRODUCTION: Most interventions for health behavior change among patients with different types of diseases have been based – if at all – on theories that primarily focus on influencing cognition or knowledge (i.e., health literacy). These cognitive behavioral interventions are often costly, unsustainable, or both. Recently, dual-process models hav...
The behavior change resource model (BCRM) aims to provide a complete schema for choosing appropriate behavior change techniques (BCTs) by integrating state-of-the-art social and positive psychology, behavioral economics and neurobiology.
The model proposes that individuals require different resources at different stages of behavior change. It ide...
Type 2 diabetes can be improved significantly through lifestyle changes, i.e., increased exercise and healthier nutrition. However, most patients have difficulties to reach their lifestyle goals. In this project we aim to develop a set of (digital) tools to improve patients’ resources which are necessary to achieve sustainable lifestyle changes, i....
We develop a theoretical model - the behavior change resource model (BCRM) – which aims at providing a complete schema for choosing appropriate behavior change techniques (BCTs) by integrating state-of-the-art social and positive psychology, behavioral economics and neurobiology.
The BCRM proposes that individuals require different resources at d...
This study uses the nationally representative Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) to identify systematic differences in earnings returns to human capital endowments for formal and informal sector workers in rural and urban Mexico. Returns to experience are critical in explaining the large urban wage gap in a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition and indeed d...
A long line of literature has sought to explain the relationship between regional deprivation and education outcomes. To date, however, this literature has struggled to advance notions of deprivation beyond the purely economic. Focus has fallen on attempts to isolate causality using experimental and quasi-experimental approaches, yet the transfer m...
Es stellt sich die Frage, durch welche Merkmale sich Einrichtungen auszeichnen, die derzeit eine starke Betonung des unternehmerischen Elements aufweisen. Diese Frage soll anhand des Umfangs der auftragsbezogenen Forschung gemessen werden. Die Untersuchung hat damit keineswegs den Anspruch, alle denkbaren Spielarten unternehmerischer Orientierungen...
