| Abstract: |
Intensive care units (ICUs) nurses experience a high level of death anxiety. Interventions that reduce death anxiety are needed. We conducted a nonrandomized study with 66 ICU nurses. The 34 in the intervention group received an 8-week tailored mindfulness-based intervention and the 32 in the control group received no intervention. Both groups completed pre and post-tests of death anxiety and burnout. At post-test, the levels of death anxiety and job burnout in the intervention group were significantly lower than the control group. Mindfulness-based intervention can reduce the death anxiety level and burnout of ICU nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
