Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms, emotional exhaustion and coping styles of Emergency Nurses: A Randomized Clinical Trial

A randomized clinical trial evaluated Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for emergency nurses with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and coping styles. The intervention reduced PTSD symptoms and emotional exhaustion and improved coping styles compared to a control condition. The authors suggest MBSR may be a beneficial intervention for this population, though the abstract does not provide specific effect sizes or follow-up data.
