An online mindfulness peer-assisted learning program for nursing students improved self-efficacy and reduced burnout, but did not significantly change depression, anxiety, or stress. The program included mindfulness practice, senior student experience sharing, and peer group learning. Qualitative interviews revealed three themes: nurturing self-care through mindfulness, empowering skills for clinical placement, and maintaining momentum with challenges and enablers. The program may help prepare nursing students for clinical work, and further trials are recommended.
