- 소개/요약Purpose: The aim of the article was to check if mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is an effective intervention in reducing work-related stress in the case of workers of a copper mine. Material and methods: 66 employees were randomized to the experimental group (32 participants) or to the control group (34 participants). Work-related stress was measured using Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) (Karasek, 1979) and mental health was measured using General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) (Goldberg, 1990). Experimental manipulation was 40-hour-long MBSR training. Results: MANOVA has revealed significant increase of JCQ decision latitude (F=17.36, p=.00) and social support (supervisor. F=9.00, p<.004; coworker. F=5.61, p<.02), a significant decrease in GHQ anxiety (F=5.28, p<.079) and depression (F=3.95, p<.048) due to the intervention. Conclusions: The study confirms that MBSR can also be effective in reducing stress resulting from the external risk (and/or imagined fear) of losing one’s health or life. The use of MBSR could be recommended in health & safety activities in difficult and dangerous work conditions, such as mining, to promote workers’ well-being.
