The stress reduction intervention program based on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy (each) was presented to the subjects of two experimental groups (onemindfulness group and the other hypnotherapy group) in eight 90-minute sessions. The tool for collecting information was the work-family conflict questionnaire of Carlson et al. (2000).
