摘要

Objectives

This study aims to examine the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on undergraduate nursing students’ depression, anxiety, stress, and mindfulness in the psychiatric clinical practice in Jordan.

Methods

This study was a randomized controlled trial. A hundred and four students were randomly assigned to two groups. The MBSR group (n = 52) practiced mindfulness meditation for 6 weeks, and a waitlist (WL) control group (n = 52) did not receive MBSR intervention. Standardized self-administered questionnaires, including the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), were administered at the baseline before the MBSR program and at completion (at 6 weeks).

Results

Compared with WL students, MBSR students reported significantly greater decreases in depression, anxiety, and stress (p < 0.05), and a greater increase in mindfulness (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The MBSR program was effective when it was used with nursing students during their psychiatric clinical practice in reducing measures of depression, anxiety, and stress, and increasing their mindful awareness.

Preregistration

This study is not preregistered.
