ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on the perceived stress of intern nursing students. Methods: A total of 151 intern nursing students from 3 first-class hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, were selected for an 8-week MBSR training program and randomly divided into two groups, including a control group (n=86) and an intervention group (n=65). The two groups were evaluated by the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Chinese Nurse Job Stressors Questionnaires (CNJSQ) a day before the intervention and at the end of the 8-week intervention period. Results: After the intervention, the SAS and CNJSQ of intern nursing students decreased significantly compared with those before the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: MBSR training alleviates the perceptual pressure of nursing students in clinical practice to some extent, improves their satisfaction with nursing work, actively mobilizes work motivation, and widely applies MBSR in clinical nursing work, which has feasibility and practical significance.
