Health care errors are a national concern. Although considerable attention has been placed on reducing errors since a 2000 Institute of Medicine report, adverse events persist. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of mindfulness training, employing the standardized approach of an eight-week mindfulness-based, stress reduction program on reduction of nurse errors in simulated clinical scenarios. An experimental, pre- and post-test control group design was employed with 20 staff nurses and senior nursing students. Although not statistically significant, there were numerical differences in clinical performance scores from baseline when comparing mindfulness and control groups immediately following mindfulness training and after three months. A number of benefits of mindfulness training, such as improved listening skills, were identified. This pilot study supports the benefits of mindfulness training in improving nurse clinical performance and illustrates a novel approach to employ in future research.
医疗差错是一个全国性的问题。尽管自 2000 年美国医学研究所的一份报告以来，人们已经相当关注减少错误，但不良事件仍然存在。本试点研究的目的是评估正念训练的效果，采用标准化的八周正念为基础的、减压方案，以减少模拟临床情景中的护士错误。采用实验性、前后测试对照组设计，共有 20 名在职护士和高级护理学生参加。尽管没有统计学意义，但在正念训练后立即和三个月后与对照组相比，临床绩效评分在基线时存在数值差异。正念训练的一些好处，如提高听力技能，已被确定。本试点研究支持正念训练在提高护士临床绩效方面的益处，并说明了未来研究中采用的一种新方法。
