“…When compared to active and self-care (Wu et al, 2021). Mindfulness helped them to be consciously in the present, reflect on their negative emotions, reframe their emotional responses and build resilience in challenging situations (Wu et al, 2021). This could explain the moderate-tolarge effect sizes in our meta-analysis for psychological distress, stress and depression that favoured the MBI intervention group.…”

“…A meta‐synthesis on the experiences of nurses following mindfulness training found that nurses value the skills they were taught to manage work‐related stressors and practice self‐awareness and self‐care (Wu et al, 2021). Mindfulness helped them to be consciously in the present, reflect on their negative emotions, reframe their emotional responses and build resilience in challenging situations (Wu et al, 2021). This could explain the moderate‐to‐large effect sizes in our meta‐analysis for psychological distress, stress and depression that favoured the MBI intervention group.…”

Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness‐based interventions on psychological well‐being, burnout and post‐traumatic stress disorder symptoms among working registered nurses. Background Nurses account for nearly half of the global healthcare workforce and are considered significant contributors in multi‐disciplinary healthcare teams. Yet, nurses face high levels of psychological distress, leading to burnout and post‐traumatic stress disorder. Mindfulness‐based training is a strategy that has been introduced to foster a state of awareness of present physical, emotional and cognitive experiences to regulate behaviour. Design This systematic review of randomised controlled trials was designed according to PRISMA guidelines. Eligible studies were screened and extracted. Methodological quality was evaluated by two researchers, independently. RevMan 5.4 was used to conduct the meta‐analysis. Results Fourteen studies including a total of 1077 nurses were included, of which only eleven were included in the meta‐analysis as the remaining had missing or incomplete data. Meta‐analysis revealed that MBI was more effective than passive comparators in reducing psychological distress, stress, depression and burnout—personal accomplishment. When compared to active comparators, MBI was also found to be more effective in reducing psychological distress and was as effective in reducing stress, anxiety, depression and burnout. Evidence on the effects of MBIs on PTSD was scarce. Conclusion Mindfulness‐based interventions can effectively reduce psychological distress, stress, depression and some dimensions of burnout. However, evidence remains scarce in the literature. There is a need for more methodologically sound research on mindfulness‐based training among nurses. Relevance for clinical practice An important aspect that relates to the success of mindfulness‐based interventions is the continued and dedicated individual practice of the skills taught during mindfulness training amidst demanding clinical work environments. Therefore, relevant support for nurses must be accounted for in the planning, design and implementation of future mindfulness‐based interventions.

“…Such skills help nurses to be more conscious of their automatic thoughts and acts, and to control the stress associated with past experiences and future events (Wasson et al, 2020). The results of several studies have demonstrated that this approach produces positive changes in levels of anxiety, depression, and burnout in nurses (Braun et al, 2019; Wu et al, 2021).…”

“…It is natural that nurses should be subjected to varying degrees of stress while delivering proper care in an ethical manner (Wasson et al, 2020). However, when it is not controlled, the cumulative effect of stress can result in serious problems including lack of focus, depression, and burnout (Wu et al, 2021). This has a negative impact on the quality of care delivered and consequently on the overall effectiveness of healthcare systems (Charlene Luchterhand et al, 2015; Ghawadra et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation of nurses' mindfulness with their perception of individualized care.Design and Methods: It was designed as a descriptive correlational study. Two hundred seventy-one nurses were included in this study. Findings:The mean total score was 4.20 ± 0.04 on the "Mindful Attention Awareness Scale" and 3.97 ± 0.04 on the "Individualized Care Scale-Nurse." There was a significant positive correlation between the mean total score on the scales and the subscales (p < 0.01).Practical Implications: Therefore, the education and practical training of nurses should include methods designed to improve their levels of mindfulness.
