An online mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention improved nurses' subjective well-being, reduced job burnout, and enhanced psychological adaptation in the postpandemic era. Ninety nurses were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group; the intervention group received weekly online mindfulness training for eight weeks. Postintervention, positive emotions and life satisfaction significantly increased, while negative emotion, low personal accomplishment, and overall job burnout scores significantly decreased compared to preintervention and to the control group. The authors propose that such interventions can also promote mindful communication with patients and families, supporting the development of mindfulness in nursing.
