Burnout negatively affects nurses and increases nursing turnover. Many student nurses experience burnout throughout their academic program, negatively affecting student success and patient care. To explore effects of mindfulness education / self-care skills training in undergraduate nursing students on stress and self-care. A four-week pilot with four-week follow-up. In-person mindfulness sessions were offered to first-year nursing students. 67 students enrolled in a nursing skills course. Four in-person mindfulness educational sessions were provided with a 4-week follow-up. Outcomes were stress and self-care, measured by the Perceived Stress Scale and Mindful Self-Care Scale at pre-, post-, and follow-up. 58 (86.6%) completed pilot; mean age = 22.8 (5.75), majority females (84%) and Caucasian (79%). Students practicing one or more mindfulness techniques at least 8 times outside class increased self-care 9.5% pre- to post-intervention ( = .01), although not sustained at follow-up. Stress did not change significantly in either direction ( = .94), potentially mediating the stress of starting clinical immediately following the intervention. Mindfulness education increased self-care in first-year nursing students who practiced mindfulness outside class. Recommendations include further research and integration of mindfulness into courses to assess benefits and coping skills for future nurses.
burnout 对护士有负面影响，并增加护理人员的流动率。许多护生在整个学业期间都经历了 burnout，这对学生的成功和患者的护理都有负面影响。为了探索正念教育/自我保健技能训练对本科护生压力和自我保健的影响。这是一个为期四周的试点研究，随后进行了四周的随访。为护生提供了为期四周的面对面正念课程。有 67 名学生参加了护理技能课程。提供了四次面对面的正念教育课程，并进行了为期四周的随访。在干预前、后和随访时，使用感知压力量表和正念自我护理量表测量压力和自我护理情况。58 名（86.6%）完成了试点研究；平均年龄为 22.8（5.75），大多数为女性（84%）和白人（79%）。学生们在课堂外至少 8 次练习一种或多种正念技巧，自我护理提高了 9.5%（=0.01），尽管在随访中没有持续提高。压力在两个方向上都没有显著变化（=0.94），这可能是在干预后立即开始临床实践所带来的压力的中介因素。正念教育提高了护生在课堂外练习正念时的自我保健能力。建议进一步研究和将正念融入课程中，以评估未来护士的益处和应对技能。
