Guided respiration mindfulness therapy (GRMT), a clinical breathwork model, reduced psychological distress in nurses more effectively than a mindfulness-based intervention. Across five weekly sessions, nurses receiving GRMT showed large reductions in anxiety and stress, along with increased mindfulness and self-compassion. The comparison mindfulness intervention produced no significant effect on stress. GRMT offers an effective group intervention for nurses to reduce stress and enhance self-care.
