A meta-analysis of 13 randomized trials found that mindfulness-based interventions significantly reduce stress and anxiety in caregivers of people with dementia. Interventions lasting 8 weeks or more also help lower depression, but the therapies did not show significant immediate benefits for reducing depression or caregiver burden. The authors suggest mindfulness has potential but note that more rigorous, larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

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.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) effectively reduces perceived stress, exhaustion, and total burnout while increasing positive affect and the use of two key mindfulness skills—observing and nonreactivity—in nursing school populations. These benefits were similar whether MBSR was delivered online or in person, and for both nursing students and faculty/staff. No significant effects were observed for disengagement from work, satisfaction with life, negative affect, or three other mindfulness skills. The findings suggest MBSR increases stress resilience and can be integrated into nursing schools to improve well-being.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials found that mindfulness-based interventions significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and caregiver burden in caregivers of adults with chronic disease, but they did not significantly improve quality of life, resilience, or mindfulness. The evidence suggests these interventions can be a helpful method for increasing psychological well-being and reducing burden among these caregivers.
