Summary

Teachers in Hong Kong are susceptible to professional stress and its associated psychosomatic illnesses. To enhance teachers' well-being, mindfulness training is conducted in local schools. The present study is a randomized controlled trial to investigate 1) the effects of mindfulness training on teachers' well-being (i.e. general health, positive affect, life satisfaction, stress, negative affect), and 2) the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of mindfulness (i.e. emotional care strategies including anchoring, decentering, and acceptance). Participants will be randomized to either intervention (8-week .b Foundations/ .begin course) or waiting-list control condition. They will complete survey before (baseline), after (post-intervention), and two-months (follow-up) after the intervention.
