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.
