MBSR Programs to Reduce Compassion Fatigue in Nurses

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program in reducing compassion fatigue among nurses. The main question it aims to answer is: Does participation in an MBSR program decrease levels of compassion fatigue among nurses? The primary hypothesis is that nurses who participate in the MBSR program will experience a significant reduction in compassion fatigue after implementing the interventions. Participants will include psychiatric nurse practitioners working in high-stress environments. Participants will: Attend a series of MBSR sessions over a specified period. Engage in mindfulness practices such as body scans, and deep breathing. Complete self-report measures to assess levels of compassion fatigue before and after the intervention.
