Abstract

In a recently published paper in this journal, Covington et al explored the potential advantages of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for healthcare staff burnout and associated problems. In the demanding and emotionally charged field of end-of-life (EOL) care, healthcare professionals play a pivotal role in supporting patients and their families during their most vulnerable moments. However, as a recent systematic review reveals, the empirical research on MBIs in the context of EOL care is still in its nascent stages. This correspondence contributes to the research gap on mental health and self-care of EOL for professionals.
