Evaluating a Mindfulness Booster Course for Healthcare Staff
Sponsor: Canterbury Christ Church University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mindfulness booster course can reduce stress in healthcare staff who have previously attended a mindfulness course. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is a mindfulness booster course for healthcare staff effective at reducing their stress levels? * Are any benefits maintained for 8 weeks? Researchers will compare a mindfulness booster course with usual care to see if it helps to reduce stress. Participants will take part in either a mindfulness booster course or do what they usually do to look after their wellbeing. They will complete questionnaires at the beginning, middle and end of the study.

Mindfulness Booster Course
The mindfulness booster course will consist of eight 30-minute sessions, which participants will be asked to commit to. These will be online and usually occur weekly. Within these sessions, there will be a 15-minute mindfulness practice followed by a 15-minute discussion. This discussion time will involve reflecting on the mindfulness practice and speaking about between-session practice. Participants will be encouraged to practice mindfulness for home work between the sessions.
Usual Care
Participants will be encouraged to continue with whatever activities they usually undertake to manage their stress and support their wellbeing.
