A five-week mHealth-based mindfulness intervention delivered via WhatsApp reduced stress and depression and increased trait mindfulness among registered nurses caring for COVID-19 patients in Jordan. The experimental group of 51 nurses showed significantly lower stress and depression and higher trait mindfulness compared to the control group. Although anxiety scores decreased in the experimental group, the difference between groups was not statistically significant. The findings suggest that such an intervention can serve as a holistic approach to improving psychological well-being in this population.
A mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) during haemodialysis sessions reduced stress, depression, and physical symptoms in patients with end-stage renal disease in Jordan. Sixty-one participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group performing 30-minute MBI three times weekly for eight weeks or a control group. The experimental group showed significantly lower levels of stress, depression, and physical symptoms than the control group over time. Physical symptoms improved steadily across the study period, while psychological symptoms improved significantly after five weeks but showed no further improvement by the end of the intervention. The findings support integrating MBI into nursing care plans for symptom management.
