Summary

This study will be carried out in a pre-test-post-test, randomized controlled (parallel), experimental order in order to examine the effect of the MIND-BE program applied to intensive care nurses on mental health parameters. The hypothesis of this study is that MIND-BE program increases resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, self-compassion levels, and reduces mental symptoms.

Detailed description

In the study, the MIND-BE program will be applied to the nurses (n=49) in the intervention group. Considering the studies on mindfulness on nurses, it is planned to practice mindfulness for 60 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Mindfulness practice will be done online using appropriate platforms on the days and hours determined by Hilal Altundal (H.A.), who has a Mindfulness Institute-approved document. In the control group (n=49), no intervention will be made for 8 weeks. Results will be collected through data collection forms before the MIND-BE program, after the MIND-BE program is completed (8th week), and one month after the MIND-BE program is completed (12th week). The data collection forms applied to all nurses in the intervention and control groups at the beginning of the study will be applied again at the end of the 8th and 12th weeks. The primary expected outcome of the study is the effect of the MIND-BE program on nurses' resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, and self-compassion. The secondary expected result of the study is to determine the effect of the MIND-BE program on the mental health of nurses.
