About this trial
Nurses often work in busy and stressful hospital environments, which can affect their well-being, job satisfaction, and work performance. Mindfulness is a set of practices that help individuals focus on the present moment and cope better with stress. Mindfulness-based programs have been shown to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being in healthcare workers, but their effects on nurses' job satisfaction and work performance are not yet well understood.
This study aims to examine whether a mindfulness-based psychoeducation program can reduce job stress and improve job satisfaction and job performance among nurses. The study will include nurses working in a public hospital in Isparta, Turkey. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group that receives the mindfulness program or a control group. All participants will complete assessments before the program, after the program, and again three months later.
The findings of this study are expected to provide useful information on whether mindfulness training can improve nurse's important work-related outcomes.
