Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training can improve the mental health and well-being of healthcare professionals (HCPs) exposed to prolonged severe stress conditions.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does an 8-week MBSR training lower the cortisol levels of HCPs exposed to prolonged severe stress conditions?
* Does an 8-week MBSR training modify the psychological condition of HCPs exposed to prolonged severe stress conditions? Researchers will compare an 8-week MBSR training to no-training to see if MBSR training works to improve the mental health and well-being of HCPs.

Participants will:

* Partecipate or not partecipate to the MBSR training for 8 weeks
* Visit the clinic at baseline, after the 8-week intervention (T1), and at follow-up after 6 months for checkups and tests
