CONCLUSION
Taken
together, these findings suggest that
MBSR
was feasible and effective in reducing PTSD symptoms and emotional
exhaustion among emergency nurses, but it has a lesser effect on coping
styles.
Nursing
leaders might consider introducing MBSR to emergency nurses as part of
their continuing professional education. They should also develop
supportive strategies for implementation to ensure that nurses maintain
dedicated practice in the demanding clinical work.
Additionally,
targeted on-the-job mindfulness-based programs could be developed to
help nurses integrate mindfulness into their daily routine and reap its
benefits.
