International Egyptian Journal of Nursing Sciences and Research May 26, 2026 Omnya El-ayari, Amina El-Salamony
A mindfulness mantram repetition intervention—silently repeating a sacred word or phrase—significantly reduced stress and improved psychological wellbeing among 50 nurses in psychiatric wards in Egypt. Stress levels and psychological wellbeing both showed large, statistically significant changes after the intervention, and a negative correlation between stress and wellbeing was observed. The findings suggest that this low-cost, portable technique can help nurses manage occupational stress and enhance their mental health.
