Final qualitative coding scheme

Increased nonreactive awareness	I am much more aware of my emotions. I recognize my stress sooner. It was helpful [to develop] the awareness of how we tend to react, either positively or negatively, to a stimulus, and learning to stop and be aware of the reaction instead of judging the reaction.
Increased adaptive coping	I have learned to do a very quick re-centering which I can use in the middle of a very busy day to get back to balance quickly. [It has helped] being able to take a simple moment to step back and regroup when we have an emotionally difficult situation with a patient or each other.
Enhanced team cohesion	If just feels better, and cohesive. Kind of like of knowing that we are in this together and we can do this. Like team spirit. There is more “team-ness”.
Communication	[The training] has helped us to have better communication with each other, listen to each other, and work as a team.
Social support	We have more trust among each other. I am more comfortable with my teammates.
Common humanity	It is helpful to know that you are not the only one dealing with stressful situations.
Increased quality of patient–provider communication	I can focus my attention better and longer when [I am] with patients and colleagues.
Enhanced quality of life	Even at home. It has been helpful to use [practices] in situations that maybe are not necessarily stressful but in situation where perhaps in the past I Would not have paid as much attention and I feel that am appreciate some of those activities maybe more than I would have before.
Integration into the work day	Walking for 10 minutes at the end of my lunch break every day has been wonderful, but it has also made me more aware of other mindfulness activities I can slip in on an ongoing basis.
	I like the star on the door. That star I saw every time I went into a room. Something that I see all the time [was helpful]. I’ve really enjoyed adding mindfulness to our team meetings and also knowing I can count on my team members to remind me to be mindful.
Recommendations to improve training	Course could be longer both in terms of number of weeks and minutes per session. “Booster" classes periodically would be great. More Frequent (more sessions per week)
