AB  - Healthcare workers play a critical role in the health of a nation, yet rates of 
      healthcare worker stress are disproportionately high. We evaluated whether 
      mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for life (MBCT-L), could reduce stress in 
      healthcare workers and target a range of secondary outcomes. Method: This is the 
      first parallel randomised controlled trial of MBCT-L. Participants were NHS 
      workers, who were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either MBCT-L or wait-list. 
      The primary outcome was self-reported stress at post-intervention. Secondary 
      variables were well-being, depression, anxiety, and work-related outcomes. Mixed 
      regressions were used. Mindfulness and self/other-compassion were explored as 
      potential mechanisms of effects on stress and wellbeing. Results: We assigned 234 
      participants to MBCT-L (n = 115) or to wait-list (n = 119). 168 (72%) 
      participants completed the primary outcome and of those who started the MBCT-L 
      73.40% (n = 69) attended the majority of the sessions. MBCT-L ameliorated stress 
      compared with controls (B = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.63‒3.56; d = -0.72; p < .0001). 
      Effects were also found for well-being, depression and anxiety, but not for 
      work-related outcomes. Mindfulness and self-compassion mediated effects on stress 
      and wellbeing. Conclusions: MBCT-L could be an effective and acceptable part of a 
      wider healthcare workers well-being and mental health strategy.
