Phan Thi Tho, Hansa Dhammahaso, Nadnapang Phophichit This feasibility study examined the acceptability of a two‑day Wellness Program of Right Mindfulness retreat and estimated immediate pre-post changes in burnout and well‑being among Vietnamese employees residing in Japan. The program was developed through expert consultation and implemented as a single‑arm retreat (N = 60). Participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI‑GS) and the WHO‑5 Well‑Being Index before and immediately after the retreat; brief post‑retreat debrief reflections provided exploratory contextual insights. Retention, adherence, and satisfaction indicated high feasibility and acceptability. Pre-post analyses showed substantial reductions in Exhaustion and Cynicism and increases in Professional Efficacy, alongside improved WHO‑5 well‑being. Given the single arm design without a control group and immediate posttest timing, changes should be interpreted as preliminary associations rather than causal effects. These findings support feasibility and justify replication using randomized controlled designs with longer‑term follow‑up and adequately powered analyses to examine moderators of response.
