A Mindfulness-Based Intervention: Effects on Psychiatric Nurses Well-being and Burnout.

Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association May 22, 2025 Elizabeth Gianella, Rebecca A Owens, Mary T Quinn Griffin et al. 2 citations

A 3-minute mindfulness breathing space intervention was tested with 46 psychiatric nurses to see if it could reduce burnout and improve well-being. Burnout and well-being were measured before and two weeks after the intervention. Among the 16 nurses who completed both well-being assessments, overall well-being increased. There was no difference in burnout scores from before to after the intervention. The brief practice shows promise for improving well-being without the time demands of longer mindfulness programs.
