This stress experienced in the workplace is accompanied by consequences such as depression, anxiety, and decreased job satisfaction.

The aim of the study, which was planned in the experimental design type, was to determine the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction training on nurses' job stress. The sample of the study consisted of 70 nurses (35 in the experimental group, 35 in the control group) working in a university hospital in Çanakkale.
