A mindfulness-based intervention delivered over four weeks to nurses in Jordan significantly reduced stress overload and depression while increasing mindfulness. The randomized controlled trial compared 65 nurses who received the intervention inside a hospital, 60 who received it outside the hospital, and 63 controls. Those in the intervention groups showed lower stress and depression and higher mindfulness than the control group. Delivering the intervention outside the hospital was more effective for improving mindfulness than inside the hospital.
