An online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy program for nursing students reduced depression, anxiety, and stress and increased cognitive flexibility. In a randomized controlled trial, students who completed the program scored lower on depression, anxiety, and stress measures and higher on cognitive flexibility at both post-test and follow-up compared to a control group, with statistically significant differences. The program appears effective for improving mental health and cognitive flexibility in this population.
