Article Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article was to check whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an effective intervention in reducing work-related stress in the case of workers in a copper mine.
Methods: Sixty six employees were randomized to the experimental group (32 participants) or to the control group (34 participants). Work-related stress was measured using the job content questionnaire (JCQ) and mental health was measured using the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28) Experimental manipulation was 40-h MBSR training.
Results: Multivariate repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed a significant increase of JCQ decision latitude (F = 17.36, p < 0.001) and social support (supervisor F = 9.00, p < 0.004; coworker F = 5.61, p < 0.020), and a significant decrease in GHQ-28 anxiety (F = 5.28, p < 0.079) and depression (F = 3.95, p < 0.048) due to the intervention.
Conclusions: The study confirms that MBSR can 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 and safety activities in difficult and dangerous work conditions, such as mining, to promote workers' well-being.

Approximately 400 million individuals globally are estimated to suffer from Long COVID, an infection-associated chronic condition that occurs after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite the high burden, there are no evidence-based or FDA-approved interventions to treat the condition. Given its complexity, a multicomponent approach grounded in a whole-person health model is likely required.

Background: Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is extremely common and is one of the Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs), 10 conditions thought to have similar underlying pathophysiology. Little is known about the prevalence and co-occurrence of cLBP with other commonly accepted conditions referred to as COPCs.
Methods: We assessed participants enrolled in a pragmatic trial of mindfulness-based stress reduction for cLBP to determine the prevalence of co-occurring COPCs using a validated COPC screener.

Rumination is known to have a negative impact on both the process of psychotherapy as well as the development of depressive symptoms and even the probability of relapses in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Therefore, treatment approaches focusing on strategies to overcome rumination have been developed over the last decades, e.g.
