“…This then affects the students' health. Tiredness, increased anxiety, general illness and depression have been seen to have a significant effect on student engagement and completion (Spadaro & Hunker, 2016). While universities are attempting to promote a more flexible approach to learning, the same might not be said of students who are less flexible about the timing of classes:…”

“…[29] Mindfulness is a coping strategy found to be effective with managing mood, stress, and cognition, while positively affecting nursing students' academic abilities with the added insight of being present and making conscious choices instead of simply reacting in times of stress. [5] Mindfulness has been increasingly embraced as an important competency in education, business, and the military, and Ponte & Koppel [29] correctly assert that nursing should follow suit, adding that nurse leaders in education and practice should "move to recognize and integrate mindfulness-based practice as a core competency that supports effective nursing practice and therapeutic relationships with patients and families".…”

Background and objective: There is a vast amount of literature documenting the epidemic of stress and burnout within the nursing profession. It is well established that chronic stress contributes to burnout among nursing staff and students. Research suggests that organizational change, curriculum adjustment, and mindfulness interventions can contribute to decreased stress and better outcomes for nurses. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) intervention on the perceived stress and burnout of students in a cohort of Registered Nurses (RNs) completing a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Degree.Methods: This study utilized pre and post data collection to explore the effect of a MBSR intervention on self-reported perceived stress and burnout using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Study participants (n = 24) received a general orientation to the study followed by a brief intervention using the body scan meditation, a component of the MBSR-model. Students registered with the Remind mobile app to supplement the live instruction and to encourage the students to engage in daily mindfulness practice.Results: The repeated measures ANOVAs for all three CBI factors showed that personal, work, and client burnout means were statistically lower at four weeks post-intervention than they were at baseline. Perceived stress measures four weeks post-intervention were also statistically lower than baseline. There were no demographic interactions, and only one main effect for gender, in that males reported lower perceived stress. Conclusions: The MBSR intervention was successful in reducing the self-reported perceived stress and burnout of RN students completing their DNP Degree.

“…To our knowledge, only one study has investigated orienting and executive control functions after mindfulness training for subjects in the healthcare professions. Spadaro and Hunker () found that nursing students showed a trend of improved orienting and executive control after participating in an 8‐week online mindfulness course. However, these findings did not reach statistical significance.…”

This pilot study examined the impact of mindfulness training on skills relevant for the well‐being and therapeutic functioning of clinical psychology students. Twenty‐five psychology students took part in an intensive mindfulness training programme, consisting of three 2.5‐hr sessions and one all‐day silent retreat. The students filled out self‐report measures of rumination, emotional reactivity to stress, difficulties with emotion regulation, mindfulness and self‐compassion. They also completed two cognitive tests (revised version of the Attention Network Test and a Stroop colour‐word inference task) before and after the course. The students reported significant decreases in rumination (d = 0.75, p = .001), emotional reactivity to stress (d = 0.81, p = .001) and difficulties in emotion regulation (d = 0.57, p = .008). They also reported increased mindfulness (d = 0.93, p = .001) and self‐compassion (d = 0.81, p = .001). On both cognitive performance tests, the students showed an increase in executive control, that is the ability to prioritise among competing thoughts, feelings and responses (ANT, d = 1.48; p = .001; Stroop: d = 0.63; p = .004). The students also showed a moderate increase in cognitive flexibility (d = 0.66; p = .003), measured by Stroop. Conclusions The study indicates that it may be beneficial to introduce personal mindfulness practice as a way of preparing novice therapists for their future profession. The findings also support the potential value of including measures of attentional capacities in future studies of psychotherapy training.
