MINDFULNESS PROGRAM FOR ANXIETY REDUCTION IN TEACHERS AT AMERICAN COLLEGE TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE WITH UNIVERSITY SUPERIOR STATUS

Abstract

The present study addresses the topic of mindfulness as a strategy for reducing anxiety in teachers. The objective focuses on evaluating the impact of mindfulness on anxiety reduction among teachers at the American College Technological Institute with University Superior Status, May 2024. A quantitative, experimental approach was established, applied to a sample of 34 teachers who were assigned to the control and experimental groups through random sampling and subjected to the psychometric instruments IDARE and BAI. The results show that the values of the instruments are below 0.05, indicating significant differences in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. In particular, it is observed that anxiety levels are considerably lower after the intervention in both questionnaires. It is concluded that mindfulness has great potential to reduce anxiety in the institute's teachers; however, clinical challenges persist. Therefore, it is recommended to create a program that integrates various techniques to enhance emotional well-being and the educational environment.
