Positive Effects of a Stress Reduction Program Based on Mindfulness Meditation in Brazilian Nursing Professionals: Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation

Mindfulness‐based stress reduction for psychological distress among nurses: A systematic review

“…As shown in Table , according to the quality assessment for the selected studies using QATFQS, no study was evaluated as a strong study. The majority of the studies were weak (Ando, Natsume, Kukihara, Shibata, & Ito, ; Bazarko, Cate, Azocar, & Kreitzer, ; dos Santos et al, ; Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, , ; Hee, Pathmawati, Norsiah, & Phang, ), with some studies evaluated as moderate quality (Mackenzie, Poulin, & Seidman‐Carlson, ; Pipe et al, ; Wylde, Mahrer, Meyer, & Gold, ). The reason for these results is related to two items, the selection bias and confounders, which were the most common weaknesses.…”

“…Three of these studies were conducted in the USA (Bazarko et al, ; Pipe et al, ; Wylde et al, ), and the other studies were from different countries: Canada (Mackenzie et al, ), Japan (Ando et al, ), Malaysia (Hee et al, ), Brazil (dos Santos et al, ) and Portugal (Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, , ).…”

“…For quasi‐experiment studies, the intervention group was in the range of ( n = 15–49), and for the control group, the range was ( n = 13–48) (Ando et al, ; Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, ; Wylde et al, ). The sample size for quasi‐experiment studies with one study group was n = 13–94 (Bazarko et al, ; dos Santos et al, ; Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, ; Hee et al, ).…”

“…In addition, there was no report of blinding or attempts of blinding in the RCT studies included. Three studies used quasi‐experiment with a control group (Ando et al, ; Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, ; Wylde et al, ), and the other four studies used one‐group pre–post (Bazarko et al, ; dos Santos et al, ; Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, ; Hee et al, ).…”

Jobbtilfredshet og livskvalitet blant norske hjemmesykepleiere

“…Det er verdt å legge merke til at hjemmesykepleierne skårer høyere på alle livskvalitetsdomene på WHOQOL-BREF enn hva både andre norske og internasjonale sykepleiere gjør (Borge, Martinsen, Hoffart, & Larsen, 2003;Dos Santos et al, 2016;Milosevic et al, 2011) og høyere enn den norske befolkningen bortsett fra på det fysiske domenet (Hanestad et al, 2004). Den signifikante sammenhengen mellom jobbtilfredshet og to av livskvalitetsdomenene, fysisk-og omgivelsesdomenet, kan tyde på at disse domenene har saerlig relevans for jobbtilfredshet i hjemmesykepleiens ofte mangelfullt tilrettelagte fysiske arbeidsmiljø i pasientens hjem (Fjørtoft, 2016;Gautun et al, 2016).…”
