Whereas the causes and negative consequences of stress among nurses are well known, less is known about effective ways to reduce or prevent this growing problem. Mindfulness-based stress reduction programs are proving to be effective in reducing stress and improving health in a variety of clinical populations. A smaller body of evidence suggests that these programs are also effective for nonclinical populations at risk for stress-related health problems. This study involved the development and evaluation of a brief 4-week mindfulness intervention for one such group-nurses and nurse aides. In comparison with 14 wait-list control participants, 16 participants in the mindfulness intervention experienced significant improvements in burnout symptoms, relaxation, and life satisfaction. The results of this pilot study, together with a natural fit between mindfulness philosophy and nursing practice theory, suggest that mindfulness training is a promising method for helping those in the nursing profession manage stress, even when provided in a brief format.
虽然护士群体中压力的成因和负面后果广为人知，但对于减少或预防这一日益严重问题的有效方法却知之甚少。基于正念减压的项目已被证明在减轻各种临床人群的压力和改善健康方面是有效的。少量证据表明，这些项目对有与压力相关健康问题风险的非临床人群也有效。本研究针对护士和护理助理这一群体开展并评估了一项为期4周的简短正念干预措施。与14名等待名单对照组参与者相比，16名参与正念干预的参与者在职业倦怠症状、放松程度和生活满意度方面有显著改善。这项初步研究的结果，再加上正念理念与护理实践理论之间的天然契合，表明正念训练是帮助护理行业从业者管理压力的一种有前景的方法，即使是以简短形式提供。
