- Chang Gung University of Science and Technology
- Brief Summary
The aims of this study are to develop a mindfulness-based course for nursing students. As well as, to verify the effects on psychological well-being (mindfulness, stress, and anxiety) and nursing professional related competences (empathy, clinical practicum stress, nursing competency) among nursing students.
- Detailed Description
A quasi-experimental study design will be used to examine the effects of a new elective course. Convenient sampling will be used to invite nursing students at a university of science and technology in Taiwan. The data will be collected four seven times, including baseline (T0), the end of the course (T1), before and after the nursing practicum (T2, T3).
Participants who enroll in an elective course in mindfulness education constitute the experimental group, while those who do not enroll in the elective form the comparison group. The total number of participants will be 240. Participants will be excluded if they are unwilling to participate in the study or do not complete the consent form.
Intervention: The experimental group will enroll in the elective course named "Mindfulness and Happiness," which will consist of 2 hours every week for a continuous period of 18 weeks. The comparison group will not participate in this course. The elective course is designed using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and is based on Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction principles.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Nursing Competence at T1 Data were collected before the nursing practicum,around 6 months after baseline data collection. The Competence Scale for Clinical Nurse (CSCN) is a validated multidimensional measure that assesses nursing student' nursing competence. higher score indicated higher level of nursing competence.
anxiety disorder at T1 Data were collected before the nursing practicum,around 6 months after baseline data collection. Löwe's the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale(GAD-7) generalized anxiety disorder 7-item scale is a validated measure that assesses individuals' anxiety level. higher score indicated higher level of anxiety.
anxiety disorder at T2 Data were collected after the nursing practicum, around 7 months after baseline data collection. Löwe's the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale(GAD-7) generalized anxiety disorder 7-item scale is a validated measure that assesses individuals' anxiety level. higher score indicated higher level of anxiety.
mindful attention awareness at baseline Data were collected before course intervention Brown \& Ryan's Mindful Attention Awareness Scale is a validated multidimensional measure that assesses individuals' mindful quality.higher score indicated higher level mindfulness.
perceived stress at baseline Data were collected before course intervention The Cohen's Perceived stress scale is a validated multidimensional measure that assesses individuals' stress level. Higher score indicated higher level of stress.
