The aim of this study was to examine the short-term and sustained effect on well-being, burnout, and mindful awareness of an abbreviated mindfulness practice course designed for nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Most mindfulness programs are impractical for frontline healthcare providers because of the intensive, off-site initial training and prolonged practice commitment. A psychiatric nurse educator developed a brief training program tailored for healthcare providers.
Two institutional review board-approved studies examined the abbreviated mindfulness practice course for healthcare providers: the first, a single-group pretest-posttest design with 25 nursing employees in an academic medical center, and the second, a randomized controlled trial with 83 healthcare professionals.
Significant improvement in mindful awareness and at least 1 indicator of burnout were demonstrated. Improvements in quality of life were noted with nurses.
Findings support the short-term and sustained impact of this brief mindfulness curriculum on mindful awareness, quality of life, and aspects of burnout for healthcare professionals.
本研究旨在探讨为护士和其他医护人员设计的简短正念实践课程对幸福感、倦怠和正念意识的短期和长期影响。
由于密集的现场外初始培训和长期实践承诺,大多数正念计划对一线医护人员来说不切实际。一位精神科护士教育家为医护人员开发了一个简短的培训计划。
两项机构审查委员会批准的研究检查了医护人员的简短正念实践课程:第一项是一项单组前后测设计,有 25 名在学术医疗中心的护理员工参与;第二项是一项随机对照试验,有 83 名医护人员参与。
显示出正念意识至少有 1 项倦怠指标的显著改善。在护士中注意到生活质量的改善。
这些发现支持这种简短正念课程对医护人员的正念意识、生活质量和倦怠某些方面的短期和长期影响。
