Detailed Description:
In the last few decades the world has seen a significant increase in the occurrence of occupational diseases related to Burnout Syndrome professional exhaustion and stress in educators These disorders affect mental health and teaching activity In this way they need to develop socio-emotional skills to cope with the psychosocial stressors related to the school environment Currently mindfulness-based therapies have been recommended to help educators acquire emotional self-control and to improve self-esteem metacognition attention resilience and affectivity in addition to better the social skills needed in the school milieu A few published studies indicate that mindfulness practices also reduce some inflammation- and stress- related molecules such as cortisol receptor-interacting serinethreonine kinase 2 RIPK2 cyclooxygenase 2 COX2 interleukin 6 IL-6 tumor necrosis factor-α TNF-α and epigenetic-regulation related histone deacetilases HDAC These indicator molecules can be measured in blood The World Health Organisation WHO-2013 recommends the worldwide implementation of strategies for the promotion of mental health which are particularly aimed at preventing occupational diseases The main objective of the proposed research project is to elaborate a program of Mindfulness-Based Health Promotion - educators MBHP - educa to be applied to a population of Brazilian public school educators The efficacy of the program will be evaluated by cognitive testing Blood tests for the above-mentioned stress-related molecules will be performed The goal of developing the MBHP - educa Program is to promote and ameliorate the health care of public school teachers Developing such a research proposal will contribute to debate and implement public health policies focussed on promoting the health of public school teachers in Brazil
