The impact of mindfulness intervention on the subjective well-being of nursing students: an experimental study.
BMC Psychology August 22, 2025 Nurgul Karakurt, Hatice Durmaz
An eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program significantly improved subjective well-being in nursing students compared to a control group that received no intervention. The experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in well-being scores after the program, while the control group's scores declined. The program consisted of two 30-40-minute sessions per week, adapted from Kabat-Zinn's model. These results suggest that integrating such mindfulness programs into nursing education could help support mental health and prevent emotional exhaustion in this vulnerable population.
