Sponsor's own description

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the Mindfulness Stress Reduction Intervention on increasing the psychological resilience of pediatric nurses.

Design: This is a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial

Method:

In the study, the group in which the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Initiative was applied was taken as the experimental (n: 15), the unstructured group (n: 14) in which the stressful life experiences were shared as the control group. Due to the limited number of the research population (N:56), 29 nurses who agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study without using the sampling method. This research was conducted with pediatric nurses working in the inpatient units of a children's hospital affiliated to a university in Izmir. Stress reduction training based on mindfulness, including meditation and breathing techniques, was given to the experimental group for 5 weeks. No intervention was applied to the control group.

The primary outcomes of the study were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults.

This study is important because it is the first randomized controlled study on the effect of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on resilience in nurses in our country.

In addition, the results will contribute to preventing nurses from leaving the profession in the early period, providing more flexibility and therefore safe patient care to the nursing workforce, especially in today's health system where there is a heavy nursing shortage.
