Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized clinical trial design. The research subjects were the internship nursing students in the nursing department of a nursing school in the northern Taiwan.

The experimental group received mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention, while the control group received routine care with weekly line care messages from class instructors. Both groups took the post-test before the internship (T0), during the internship (T1), after the internship (T2), and one month after the internship (T3), a total of 4 times. The contents include psychological well-being scale; anxiety, depression, stress scale and mental scale.

Description:

Students need to learn a lot of new medical knowledge and skills during clinical internships, which requires time and effort. However, this kind of learning pressure may put a considerable burden on nursing students, especially anxiety, depression, and stress. Through effective coping strategies, students can improve their confidence in facing clinical situations.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction is a stress-reduction method based on mindfulness meditation. It can relieve the physical and mental stress and anxiety of high-stress people, improve sleep quality, chronic fatigue, and enhance concentration.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention on anxiety, depression, and stress in clinical practice of nursing students.

This study adopted a randomized clinical experimental research design. Nursing students from a fifth-level college in the north were selected as the research subjects. A total of 80 people were recruited. Nursing intern students who were willing to participate in the study were randomly assigned and divided into an experimental group of 40 people and a control group. 40 people, the experimental group participated in the mindfulness-based stress reduction course for 8 weeks. The mindfulness-based stress reduction course was led by a certified mindfulness-based stress reduction teacher, once a week, 2 hours each time, for 8 consecutive weeks; the students in the control group received weekly line care messages from the class instructor. Research tools include the General Health Status Scale, Anxiety and Depression Stress Scale, and Mental Resilience Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS20.0 for Windows.
