Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

CBT: cognitive behavioural therapy MBT: mindfulness-based therapy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nurses caring for terminally ill patients suffer from negative emotions and emotional labor, which may lead to a decline in the quality of end-of-life care. CBT and MBT are currently two commonly used psychological methods. They can be effective in improving bad mood. However, to the best of our knowledge, no investigators have used CBT and MBT among nurses caring for terminally ill patients. Could CBT and MBT be effective in alleviating the psychological distress of these nurses? Which psychological method is more effective?
