简要总结
High-risk units, including intensive care, oncology, and emergency services, are clinical environments characterized by rapid decision-making demands and heavy workloads, placing substantial emotional and physical strain on nurses and other healthcare professionals. These challenging working conditions may contribute to burnout, negatively influence clinical decision-making processes, and increase levels of existential anxiety. Frequent exposure to death and critical illness can intensify nurses' confrontation with themes such as meaning, responsibility, and psychological resilience within their professional roles.
Existential anxiety involves fundamental human concerns related to life, death, freedom, responsibility, and meaning, which may become more salient in high-risk healthcare settings. In recent years, mindfulness-based approaches have gained attention as effective interventions for supporting healthcare professionals. Mindfulness emphasizes present-moment awareness and a nonjudgmental attitude toward thoughts and emotions, and has been shown to help individuals cope with stress and emotional burden more adaptively.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based psychoeducation program on burnout, clinical decision-making, and existential anxiety among nurses working in high-risk units, including intensive care, oncology, and emergency services. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of supportive interventions that may enhance nurses' psychological well-being, professional functioning, and the overall quality of patient care.

时间窗: 12 weeks
Burnout Scale - Short Version: The scale was developed by Maslach and Pines (2005) to assess individuals' levels of burnout and was adapted into Turkish by Tümkaya et al. (2009), who conducted validity and reliability analyses. The Short Version of the Burnout Scale is a unidimensional instrument consisting of 10 items rated on a seven-point Likert scale (1 = never, 2 = almost never, 3 = rarely, 4 = sometimes, 5 = often, 6 = very often, 7 = always). Higher scores obtained from the scale indicate higher levels of burnout. In the Turkish adaptation study conducted by Tümkaya et al. (2009), the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was reported as 0.91 (Tümkaya, Sabahattin, \& Çavuşoğlu, 2009).
