- Abstract
Aim: To assess the effect of a 4‐week mindfulness‐based training intervention on improving stress, anxiety, depression and job satisfaction among ward nurses. Background: Previous literature showed that mindfulness‐based training is useful for helping nurses cope with stress. Method: Nurses who have mild to moderate levels of stress, anxiety and depression identified from a teaching hospital were invited to a randomized control trial. The intervention group had a 2‐hr Mindfulness‐Based Training workshop, followed by 4 weeks of guided self‐practice Mindfulness‐Based Training website. Both the intervention group (n = 118) and the control group (n = 106) were evaluated pre‐ and post‐intervention, and 8 weeks later (follow‐up) using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale‐21, Job Satisfaction Scale and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale. Results: There was a significant effect over time on stress, anxiety, depression and mindfulness level (p <.05). Regarding the difference between the groups and interaction between time and group, there was a significant effect for anxiety (p =.037 p =.008) and job satisfaction (p <.001, p =.40), respectively, with moderate effect size for anxiety reduction (.465) and small for job satisfaction increment (.221). Conclusion: Mindfulness‐Based Training is effective in improving anxiety and job satisfaction among nurses. Clinical Implications for Nursing Management: Mindfulness‐Based Training can be included as hospital policy to reduce anxiety and increase job satisfaction among nurses.
