Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training on Occupational Burnout, Stress, Coping Strategies, and Biophysiological Parameters among Staff Nurses: A Randomized Controlled Trial :A Study protocol
ABSTRACT
Background Occupational stress and burnout are pervasive among nurses, adversely affecting their well-being, job satisfaction, and the quality of patient care. Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training has emerged as a potential intervention to mitigate these challenges. Objective The study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training program on occupational burnout, stress, coping strategies and biophysiological parameters among staff nurses at a tertiary care centre. Methods This randomized controlled trial will recruit registered nursed from a tertiary care centre with more than 1 year of experience. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or control group. The Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training comprises of weekly 90-minute sessions over 8 weeks, integrating mindfulness practices, cognitive restructuring and resilience-building techniques. The outcomes include occupational burnout, stress levels, coping strategies and biophysiological parameters. Data will be collected at baseline, immediately post intervention (post-test- 1) and at 12-weeks (post-test-2). Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and repeated measures ANOVA will be used to analyse the data. Expected Outcomes It is hypothesized that the Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training program will significantly reduce occupational burnout and perceived stress, enhances adaptive coping strategies and improves biophysiological parameters among staff nurses. Results may support the integration of Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training into workplaces as a wellness initiative for nurses. Trail Registration: The study has been registered at Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2025/03/083718; Registration date: 28/03/2025)
