“…Among the 2553 documents, 46 potentially relevant articles were selected after title and abstract screening. On the full-text screening, fifteen non-clinical studies [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], four non-intervention studies [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], three generic studies [ 44 , 45 , 46 ], five studies not using MBMs [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ], and one not presenting evaluation results [ 52 ] were excluded. Ultimately, this review included 18 studies [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ] ( Figure 1 ).…”

Healthcare workers (HCWs) have suffered physical and psychological threats since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Mind-body modalities (MBMs) can reduce the long-term adverse health effects associated with COVID-specific chronic stress. This systematic review aims to investigate the role of MBMs in managing the mental health of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive search was conducted using 6 electronic databases, resulting in 18 clinical studies from 2019 to September 2021. Meta-analysis showed that MBMs significantly improved the perceived stress of HCWs (standardized mean difference, −0.37; 95% confidence intervals, −0.53 to −0.21). In addition, some MBMs had significant positive effects on psychological trauma, burnout, insomnia, anxiety, depression, self-compassion, mindfulness, quality of life, resilience, and well-being, but not psychological trauma and self-efficacy of HCWs. This review provides data supporting the potential of some MBMs to improve the mental health of HCWs during COVID-19. However, owing to poor methodological quality and heterogeneity of interventions and outcomes of the included studies, further high-quality clinical trials are needed on this topic in the future.

“…The physical and emotional stress nurses' experience due to workplace stressors is significant and if not addressed may impact their emotional and physical health (Harwood et al, 2021). High levels of stress may result in depression, anxiety, burnout syndrome, and post-traumatic stress disorder (Vahedian-Azimi et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an abbreviated (4-week) and asynchronous, mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on nurses' perceived stress and mindful attention and awareness. Design: An evidence-based quality improvement pilot program. Methods: The participants ( n = 15 nurses) attended a 4-week, asynchronous MBI. The participants attended a 90-minute webinar on mindfulness as a prerequisite, followed by 4 weeks of guided meditation and informal mindfulness practice materials. The MBI was offered remotely with self-modulated practice. Participants also provided the number of days per week they participated in formal meditation practice. Project participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. Project instruments included the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Findings: 12 complete pre-and post-intervention surveys were analyzed. Significant improvements were noted in participant mean MAAS scores post-intervention ( p = .004). Cumulative PSS scores also decreased post-intervention ( p = .009). Conclusion: The 4-week MBI demonstrated a statistically significant impact on nurses' perceived stress and mindful attention and awareness. Additionally, this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student led program was offered in an asynchronous and remote format, which was received well by program participants and may be a practical option for future MBIs.

“…Systematic reviews (SRs) are the cornerstone of evidence‐based practice (EBP), as they provide a synthesis of sound primary research studies found in a variety of published and unpublished sources. Authors refer to SRs as the gold standard (Aromataris & Pearson, 2014 ), or the highest form of evidence (Harwood et al, 2019 ), and are currently the most frequently cited type of clinical research (Djulbegovic & Guyatt, 2017 ). Because of the clinical value and weight placed on this evidence, rigorous search methods are essential to obtain high‐quality SRs.…”

Background: Reporting standards for data sources in systematic reviews (SRs) have been developed, yet research shows varying compliance in the methods section.When this happens, replication of search results is difficult and creates ambiguous and biased data sources. Aims:This study captured author practices in choosing English and non-Englishlanguage databases, listing all the databases searched, and incorporating study registries as part of the search strategy.Methods: Using an analytic, cross-sectional, study design, volunteer data collectors (n = 107) searched one of two assigned English language platforms for SRs on specified health conditions. All the data sources found in the methods section of each SR were documented and analyzed for patterns using bibliographic techniques. Results:The final sample size of the SRs reviewed was N = 199. The mean number of data sources seen in the SRs was 3.9 (SD 2), with a range of 1-10. Eighteen records (9%) used a single data source to conduct the SRs. Four leading language platforms were seen in the SRs: English (100% of occurrences), up to 8% used Chinese data sources, and 4% included Spanish or Portuguese. The four most frequently used data sources were: (1) Medline (98%), (2) Embase (65%), (3) Cochrane Library (56%), and (4) Web of Science (33%). The percentage of SRs listing study registries was 30%.Linking Evidence to Action: Strategies to reduce bias and increase the rigor and reliability of SRs include comprehensive search practices by exploring non-Englishlanguage databases, using multiple data sources, and searching study registries. By following PRISMA-S guidelines to report data sources correctly, reproducibility can be accomplished.
