  49. now this nurses who just graduated and
  50. took the complex had the perfect world mentality
  51. meaning
  52. they are thinking that everything they need will be there.
  53. This also makes them task orientated. Rather than looking at the big picture

  67. In an urban academic hospital with less than three years of experience.
  68. The sample size included 10 nurses,
  69. But only eight of the 10 returned the curry and post surveys.
  70. Our approach is to implement a flexible meditation time
  71. for all nurses with busy lives who can incorporate mindfulness.
  72. There are four weeks of pre made video playlists
  73. lasting on average 20 minutes.
  74. These videos can be played at the participants convenience.
  75. Each week the participants were sent a playlist
  76. and each week was dedicated to a specific
  77. mindfulness practice.
  78. The weeks are as follows.
  79. The first week is an introduction to mindfulness.
  80. This week's playlist consists of videos explaining mindfulness meditation,
  81. how to practice mindfulness
  82. And a five minute mindful breathing exercise
  83. similar to the one we did.
  84. The second week focuses on mindful eating.
  85. When we eat. We usually distract ourselves with phones, TVs or something else.
  86. We tend to skip breakfast, rush to our lunch breaks, binge,
  87. eat in front of the tv or stress, eat our feelings away.
  88. Mindful eating makes us focus on our food.
  89. It makes us notice the texture of each bite and what flavor profiles they are.
  90. It makes us grateful for the effort that it took to grow food and make.
  91. There are so many things to think about when it comes to
  92. eating that it really allows us to focus on the present moment.
  93. The third week focuses on the application of mindfulness meditation
  94. on stress,
  95. grief and sadness.
  96. This week provides the participants with videos
  97. that helped them to address their feelings.
  98. While the specific meditation may take a toll for some,
  99. the long term benefit of confronting suppressed emotions
  100. opens a road to healing
  101. while you cannot control your emotions,
  102. you are in charge of how you respond to your emotions.
  103. The first step of this is acknowledgment.
  104. The last week focuses on mindfulness with body scan meditations
  105. and Covid 19
  106. a body scan meditation is an extension of the breathing exercise that we did.
  107. You focus on each section of your body
  108. and how it feels in the moment.
  109. If your mind starts to wander.
  110. The key is to accept that the thought is passing
  111. and then focus back on the rising of your breath,
  112. Just like how you cannot control your emotions.
  113. COVID-19 is something that will
  114. pandemics are like any large
  115. that causes stress
  116. except that it is continuous.
  117. While a small amount of stress is health,
  118. prolonged stress is not
  119. dealing with Covid 19.
  120. Using mindfulness meditation helps decrease the stress that we can end
  121. causing physical damage.

  124. Depression, anxiety, shut scale-21
  125. Professional quality of life, Pro Q. O. L.
  126. And perceived stress. Scale PSs
  127. from the literature we have reviewed
  128. these surveys have been proven to measure stress
  129. and anxiety especially in the workplace.
  130. The results were inconclusive for any significant result as the
  131. averages of each scale were similar before and after.
  132. The intervention.
  133. On an individual level
  134. there were some cases of the category decreasing from moderate stress and anxiety
  135. to normal stress and anxiety
  136. subjectively, participants did state that implementing mindfulness meditation
  137. did help them personally decrease their stress.
  138. While the results were insignificant,
  139. More than 40% of the participants stated
  140. that they would continue incorporating mindfulness
  141. into their practice to see different results.
  142. The literature review that was done
  143. has shown the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation
  144. on larger groups of nurses
  145. and with multiple areas of expertise.
  146. The implication is that more focus should be placed on the mental health of nurses.
  147. It will not be it will not only be beneficial for the nurse,
  148. but for the patients as well
  149. to care for others.
