Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on stress levels and mindfulness of nursing students. Methods:The study was quasi-experimental and included pretest−posttest control groups.Results: No differences were detected between the pretest scores of the scales of the students of both groups. Students in the intervention group demonstrated increased mindfulness and decreased stress levels (p < 0.05).Practical Implications: MBSR applied in the present study effectively reduced the stress of nursing students and increased their mindfulness.

Araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin klinik uygulamalar sırasında doğrudan bakım uygulamalarına ayırdıkları zamanı ve öğrencilerin bakım davranışları algısını belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte olup araştırmanın örneklemini bir vakıf üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören birinci sınıflar hariç toplam 80 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın verileri "Klinik Uygulamada Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Aktivitelerini İzlem Formu" ve "Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği" ile toplanmıştır. Veriler gözlem yoluyla elde edilmiştir.

Purpose Pediatric oncology-hematology nurses are at risk for compassion fatigue, burnout, and stress. It was aimed to determine the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on the level of pediatric hematology-oncology nurses' professional quality of life and perceived stress. Methods A pre-test, post-test, one-group quasi-experimental study was conducted with pediatric oncology-hematology nurses between November 15, 2021, and June 15, 2022. MBSR program was applied to the nurses as sessions lasting 60–90 minutes once a week for eight weeks. Data was collected by the 'Nurse Information Form', the 'Professional Quality of Life Scale-IV', and the 'Perceived Stress Scale'. Results The mean age of the nurses was 42.80 ± 7.09, 95% of them female, and 45.0% of them had bachelor’s degrees. After the MBSR program, the mean compassion fatigue (14.10 ± 6.31), and burnout (18.45 ± 5.73) scores of nurses decreased statistically significantly compared to before (respectively 16.75 ± 7.03; p = 0.014; 21.10 ± 7.14; p = 0.017). No statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of compassion satisfaction (CS) and the level of perceived stress of nurses pre- and post-intervention (p > 0.05). Conclusions It was determined that the MBSR program decreased the level of burnout and compassion fatigue of pediatric hematology-oncology nurses but, it did not affect the level of perceived stress and CS.
