The Impacts of Mindfulness on Psychological Wellbeing and Nursing Competencies Among Nursing Students
The aims of this study are to develop a mindfulness-based elective course for nursing students and to evaluate its effects on psychological well-being, including mindfulness, depression, anxiety, stress, and problematic internet use, empathy, among nursing students.
This study will use a quasi-experimental design to examine the effects of a new elective course for nursing students. Convenience sampling will be used to recruit nursing students from a university of science and technology in Taiwan. Data will be collected at two time points: baseline (T0) and the end of the course (T1).
Participants who enroll in the elective course in mindfulness education will be assigned to the experimental group, whereas those who do not enroll in the elective course will be assigned to the comparison group. The anticipated total enrollment is 240 participants. Participants will be excluded if they are unwilling to participate in the study or do not complete the informed consent form.
Intervention: The experimental group will enroll in the elective course entitled "Mindfulness and Happiness," consisting of 2 hours per week for 18 consecutive weeks. The comparison group will not participate in this course. The elective course is designed using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) and is based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction principles.
