Mindfulness interventions are a well-known approach for improving mental health. Nevertheless, the available evidence regarding their efficacy in addressing musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is limited, despite numerous studies demonstrating an association between psychological factors and MSP. Both mental health issues and MSP are prevalent among academicians, yet there is a scarce study on the application of mindfulness interventions to these specific concerns. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a study protocol that will focus on assessing the impact of mindfulness interventions on alleviating low back pain (LBP) symptoms, psychological symptoms, and improving work productivity among academic staff.
