While many companies take the environmental environment as a fundamental part of their business strategies, managers are facing the challenges to explore the integration of environmental concepts and business operations. Although there are an amount of studies about environmental management in the literature, only a few of them applied the concept of mindfulness to environmental management. Mindfulness is regarded as a way of operation marked by the willingness to consider alternative perspectives, focus on the present, attention to operational detail, and interest in exploring and understanding failures. This study suggests that companies require keeping mindfulness in environmental management implementation. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the application of mindfulness theory to environmental management, and propose a conceptual model of antecedents and consequences of green mindfulness. The proposed multilevel model describes the influences of organizational and individual antecedents on green mindfulness, and the organizational and individual consequences of green mindfulness.

Background/purpose: Rural adults and children are at higher risk for overweight and obesity. However, there are relatively few lifestyle modification programs available for these high-risk families, mainly because of the difficulty in reaching them. This mindfulness-based motivational interviewing (MM-based-MI) pilot aimed to improve parents' healthy eating index (HEI), collective family efficacy, family satisfaction, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms as well as parent-child dyads' eating patterns, physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI).

Article Synopsis
  • Family caregivers (FCGs) of cancer patients in hospice face psychological challenges and decreased quality of life due to caregiving demands, signaling a need for supportive interventions.
  • A virtual reality (VR) nature experience was implemented, allowing FCGs to immerse themselves in calming scenes at home, which they found to enhance relaxation and provide an escape from their caregiving stress.
  • Preliminary findings indicate that the VR intervention is feasible and acceptable, suggesting it can support the emotional health of hospice FCGs, though further research with larger and more diverse groups is necessary.
