Effect of a Mindfulness Training Program on Surgical Nurses

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mindfulness Training

In brief

This randomized controlled single-blind study aims to evaluate the effect of mindfulness training on mindfulness levels, psychological resilience, and work motivation among surgical nurses. Surgical nurses work in highly demanding environments characterized by complex patient care processes, unpredictable complications, and intensive workloads, which may negatively affect their psychological resilience and work motivation. Mindfulness-based interventions have been reported to improve psychological well-being, coping strategies, and professional functioning among healthcare professionals. The study will be conducted with nurses working in surgical clinics at Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Practice and Research Center. Eligible nurses will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving mindfulness training or a control group receiving no intervention. The mindfulness training program will be delivered over four weeks, consisting of two sessions per week, each lasting 40 minutes. Data will be collected using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Short Form (CD-RISC-10), and Nurses' Work Motivation Scale. Measurements will be performed at baseline and four weeks after completion of the training program. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving psychological resilience, mindfulness, and work motivation among surgical nurses and support the development of effective supportive care interventions in clinical settings.
