Mindfulness in ward nurses: A concept analysis.

Mindfulness among ward nurses involves three core attributes: being in the present moment, paying attention, and being receptive. Practicing mindfulness leads to positive changes, including improved well-being and reduced burnout, anxiety, and depression. This concept analysis, based on eleven peer-reviewed articles, provides a framework for understanding mindfulness specifically in ward nurses, which can inform future research and nursing administration.
