Summary:
Nurse leaders need to possess stress management skills to support their effective and successful management of their patient service units. Meditation is frequently cited within the literature as an option for a number of workforces to cultivate being present, and recognizing and reducing stress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a personal systematic meditation practice for nurse leaders on their reported stress, mindfulness, sense of control and self-esteem and patient satisfaction on the nursing units they manage. The study employs a repeated measures intervention design for nurse leaders at two sites with a mixed method integrated approach. Focus group interviews, patient satisfaction scores and four valid instruments are used for data collection at baseline, week 6 and week 12; the instruments Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSE) and Locus of Control (LOC).
