The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on the Stress Experienced by Emergency Department Nurses

Abstract

Emergency room nurses experience high levels of stress. The high levels of stress can lead to nurse burnout and high turnover rates. Interventions to reduce ER nurse stress include organizational-directed interventions and individual-focused interventions. Individual focused interventions are further divided into mindfulness-based interventions and education interventions. Implementing Mindfulness-Based training workshops increase the nurse's ability to cope and improve well-being.
