The aim of this study was to review the evidence for meditative interventions on physical and emotional markers of well-being as well as job satisfaction and burnout among informal caregivers and health professionals. It concludes that meditation provides a small to moderate benefit for stress reduction but that more research is needed to establish the effects on burnout and caregiver burden.
