Effects of the practice of mindfulness in the care and well-being of its practitioners. An ethnographic contribution during the SARS-COV-2 syndemy

In this article we approach health and care from a holistic approach. The SARS-Cov-2 syndemic, in addition to the effects on the health of many people, opened up a scenario of complexity, fears and uncertainties that prompted many to seek ways of self-care that could help them and allow them to cope. In this context, mindfulness, by integrating physical, mental, emotional and social aspects, offers a holistic way of taking care of oneself and improving the quality of life. In this research we expose the experience of a mindfulness group through an ethnographic fieldwork to learn how it has affected the care and well-being of its practitioners in a syndemic context.
