Abstract

Objectives: To determine the relationship between mindfulness and work stress among health personnel in the Emergency Department of a hospital in Cajamarca in 2025. To assess the level of mindfulness and work stress, and to identify intervening variables that influence stress. Method: A quantitative study with an observational, cross-sectional, and correlational design with a sample of 77 healthcare staff participants. The "Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire" and the "Wolfgang Stress Inventory for Healthcare Professionals" were administered, with Cronbach's alpha indices of 0.829 and 0.912, respectively. Results: No significant relationship was found between mindfulness and work stress. A medium level of mindfulness predominated in 66.2% of respondents, and moderate stress in 63.6%. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between sex (p = 0.012) and employment status (p = 0.020) and work stress levels. Conclusions: Mindfulness was not significantly related to work stress in the Emergency Department of a hospital in Cajamarca, 2025. Sex and employment status were also identified as factors significantly associated with work stress among health personnel.
