Mindfulness, rooted in ancient Buddhist philosophy, is being adopted in Western clinical settings for psychotherapy and stress management, but confusion persists about its definition, antecedents, processes, and outcomes. This review examines the literature to clarify these aspects and discusses how mindfulness can be integrated into psychiatric mental health nursing practice.

Adding mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and physical activity (PA) to standard antidepressant treatment with sertraline improves sleep and psychological symptoms in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). In a randomized trial with 67 outpatients, those who received a combination of MBSR and PA showed greater reductions in perceived stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleep problems compared to those receiving only sertraline or either intervention alone. The benefits were sustained at a four-week follow-up.

Mindful walking improved vitality, mindfulness, and rumination in older adults with depressive disorders, with the largest effect on vitality. The intervention had a smaller effect on agility. A quasi-experimental study with 35 participants in the intervention group and 33 in the control group measured outcomes using the Ruminative Responses Scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Timed Up and Go Test, and Subjective Vitality Scale. Effect sizes were η² = 0.168 for vitality, 0.137 for mindfulness, 0.127 for rumination, and 0.047 for agility. Integrating mindful walking into care plans may promote physical activity and mental well-being in this population.

A qualitative metasynthesis of nine articles explored healthcare professionals' experiences with mindfulness practice and self-care. Three main categories emerged, addressing key aspects of mindfulness practice, new awareness of self-care developed after training, and reflections on the program. Healthcare professionals perceived mindfulness positively, noting its role in stress reduction, overall well-being, improved patient care quality, and fostering self-care. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms through which mindfulness benefits healthcare workers and underscore its potential to transform the healthcare sector, while emphasizing the need for further research with larger samples.

A four-week mindfulness smartphone app based on acceptance and commitment therapy was tested with 23 college student military veterans. Participants reported high satisfaction and found the app easy to use. Significant improvements were observed in resilience, mindfulness, PTSD symptoms, experiential avoidance, and rumination. The findings suggest the app may be a feasible way to support mental health in this population, though a randomized controlled trial is needed to confirm effectiveness.
