Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of meditation based stress reduction(MBSR) program on burnout, mindfulness, affect and psychological well-being of psychiatric nurses.
Method : The meditation group was composed of 15 psychiatric nurses who work at one mental hospital and the comparison group was composed of 15 psychiatric nurses. The meditation group received 8 sessions of MBSR program over 4 weeks. Assessment was done using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Korean version of Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (K-MAAS) and Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS) at the beginning and end of this period. After ruling out 2 nurses who dropped out during that period, there remained 13 nurses among the meditation group and 15 nurses among the comparison group.
Results : After 8 sessions of MBSR program, the nurses showed a significant improvement in the MBI, PANAS-negative and K-MAAS. There were no significant changes on the PANAS-positive and PWBS.
Conclusion : These results suggest that MBSR program can make a useful contribution in the improvement of burnout, mindfulness and negative affect of psychiatric nurses.
