EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION INTERVENTION ON OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG NURSES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW. (2026). Frontier in Medical and Health Research, 4(6), 1964-1971. https://fmhr.net/index.php/fmhr/article/view/3242

Abstract

Background: The nursing profession has been identified as stressful. The need for tools to promote well-being at work is growing. Interventions focused on mindfulness can reduce stress levels, improving nurses' psychological health.

Objective: This systematic review aims to determine mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention outcomes among nurses.

Methods: Four databases were searched as part of a review, including PubMed, Medline, CINHAL, and PsycINFO.  Furthermore, it followed the Prisma P protocol, including English-language articles from January 2010 to July 2020.

Results: There was a total of 800 subjects, and 12 studies were used for the present systematic review. Level stress was the outcome measure. Twelve studies showed the beneficial effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on stress reduction that improves the psychological health of nurses.

Conclusion: Interventions focused on mindfulness can improve nurses' well-being. To evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness training, studies with strict constant end measures, larger sample sizes, and equal gender are needed.
