Mindfulness meditation was used to reduce stress and its responses such as cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) among healthy and ill individuals in various cultures, but their effects have not yet been studied among Jordanian nursing students, experienced tremendous stress. Thus, the purpose of study was to examine the effects of three of such intervention on perceived stress (MM) on Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, cortisol, and CRP in Jordanian nursing students. The hypothesis was " mindfulness meditation will improve trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol and serum CRP. Using a Randomized controlled study conducted in a large university in Jordan, 108 nursing students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups equally. The experimental group participated in 5 30-minute weekly sessions of mindfulness meditation. Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol, and CRP were measured at baseline and end of intervention.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Trait Mindfulness | Trait mindfulness was measured using the Arabic version of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) (28), which is a one-dimensional scale that includes 15 items measured on a six-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (almost always) to 6 (almost never). The total possible score ranges between 15 and 90, with higher scores indicating higher levels of trait mindfulness. The original scale has been shown to have strong psychometric properties when validated among college students (28). Further, the Arabic version of this scale has been shown to have excellent internal consistency and convergent validity for use among Arab populations (29). In the current study, the Cronbach's alpha for the Arabic version of the MAAS was .79, indicating good internal consistency. | 6 weeks | |
Primary | Perceived stress | The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (30) is used to measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful (unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded). The scale comprises 10 items which are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (0=never, 4= very often) and which are relatively free of content specific to any subpopulation group. The total possible score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher levels of perceived stress (30). The PSS has been validated for use among college students, with internal consistency coefficients ranging from .84 to 36 and a test-retest reliability of .85 (30). The Arabic version of the PSS, which was used in the present study, has been shown to have adequate reliability and validity and is considered a suitable instrument for assessing perceived stress among Arab populations (31). In the current study, the Cronbach's alpha for the Arabic version of the PSS was .81, indicating good internal consistency. | 6 weeks | |
Primary | Serum cortisol | The ELISA method has been found to be accurate, sensitive, specific, and precise in terms of determining the plasma concentration of cortisol (32). In the current study, the ELISA kit and protocols were used to analyze the blood sample for the serum cortisol (CEA462Ge) . Three research assistants with at least 10 years of experience collected 10 mL blood samples via venipuncture both at baseline and next day morning after the last session, between 8:30-9:30 AM. The results were read using a SYNERGY (HTZ) multi-mode reader, connected to a computer which showed each reading value. The participants were asked to avoid caffeine consumption on the days of data collection. To decrease venipuncture-related pain during blood sampling, the EMLA cream was used, as it has been found effective in decreasing venipuncture-related pain among different populations (33). | 6 weeks | |
Primary | Serum CRP | The ELISA kit and protocols were used to analyze the blood sample for the serum CRP (Cat no: SEA821Hu) . Three research assistants with at least 10 years of experience collected 10 mL blood samples via venipuncture both at baseline and next day morning after the last session, between 8:30-9:30 AM. The results were read using a SYNERGY (HTZ) multi-mode reader, connected to a computer which showed each reading value. The participants were asked to avoid caffeine consumption on the days of data collection. To decrease venipuncture-related pain during blood sampling, the EMLA cream was used, as it has been found effective in decreasing venipuncture-related pain among different populations (33). | 6 weeks |
