Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion program on mindfulness, psychological capital, compassion fatigue, and affect in a sample of healthcare workers at a hospital in Colombia. Method: Randomized controlled study with pre-test and post-test measures, in which 33 workers participated (Mage = 35.01, SD = 10.0), assigned to the experimental group (EG, n = 16, Mage = 34.00, SD = 9.59) and the wait-list control group (CG, n = 17, Mage = 36.03, SD = 10.56). The contrast of the program effects was carried out through a mixed factorial ANOVA. Results: We found significant effects on observing, non-reacting and mindfulness as a function of the group factor. Conclusion: We concluded the Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion program showed positive effects on mindfulness, this was tested with a novel program designed for the Latin population. This study is pioneering in using this mindfulness program in Colombia. These findings offer valuable insights for leaders of healthcare institutions when developing intervention programs that promote the mental health in the workplace. Future studies with larger samples and mixed-methods are necessary to confirm our results and to identify factors that can predict these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Burnout and engagement have an impact on workers' health. The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of gender on burnout syndrome and engagement among Colombian health workers. The study consisted of a non-experimental design, cross-sectional with an explanatory scope. It comprised 972 healthcare professionals (Women = 78.3% and Men = 21.7%) with an average age of 34 years. We used one ad hoc questionnaire, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). The analysis of the data was performed in SPSS v.22 and AMOS v.25. Significant differences were found regarding depersonalization, with greater affectation in men (Z = -2.44, p = 0.015). No differences were found regarding other burnout and engagement dimensions as an outcome of gender. Using a structural equation model, we found that gender did not affect burnout or engagement, but that burnout negatively influenced engagement. The study used a cross-sectional design. This suggests experimental and longitudinal studies and the integration of contextual variables that can alter the studied phenomena. The study's results can support human resource leaders in decision-making processes and mental health promotion in workplaces, generating interventions from a gender perspective.

The COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened the changes in the working world, specifically, the work-family relationship has been affected by the new labor dynamics. This research examines the differences between the work-family interaction based on the working modalities (face-to-face/at home) during COVID-19. A quantitative, non-experimental, and descriptive study was carried out in which 207 workers (M = 130 - H = 77) contracted under face-to-face (TC) and at home (TC) (TP = 110 - TC = 97) working modality participated. A sociodemographic and labor data sheet, as well as the Survey Work-Home Interaction - NijmeGen were use. The normal distribution assumptions were verified by Shapiro-Wilk test = 0,98 (p= 0,106), and the homogeneity of variance by Levenge test = 10,8 (p < 0,010) and Welch test. Through a mean comparation, higher averages in the work-family conflict were found for the face-to-face working modality (CTF = 1,46, p< 0,001, CFT = 1,10, p< 0,001) with a large effect size towards the direction of the family-work conflict (d = 0,61). The work-family conciliation did not show any significant differences based on the working modality (p> 0,05). It is recommended to implement organizational policies on work-family conciliation within the framework of the emergent working modalities to benefit the quality of life of workers.
