Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of a mindfulness program applied to nurse managers on individual and organizational results. In the research, the Mindfulness-Based Program will be examined as the dependent variable, and the conscious awareness level of manager nurses, leadership behavior, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave will be examined as independent variables. The study was planned on the grounds that nurses need to be able to cope better with stress, reduce anxiety and burnout, and provide better job satisfaction in order to maintain a safe working life due to the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system.

Hypotheses of the research are as follows:

H0: Mindfulness-Based Program is not effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

H1: Mindfulness-Based Program is effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

The population of the research will be all the responsible nurses working as low-level managers at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Responsible nurses who meet the sampling criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study, and the participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups.

Detailed Description

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

In Turkey, studies on mindfulness in the nursing sample were carried out mostly descriptively, and nurses mindfulness levels were found to be at a medium level (Aşık and Albayrak, 2021; Özaydın, 2019). Considering the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system, healthcare facility managers need to pay attention to the issue so that nurses can better cope with stress and reduce their anxiety and burnout in order to maintain a safe working life. This is a prerequisite for providing safe service to patients by providing better job satisfaction and performance. It may be possible to improve individual, team and organizational results with programs aimed at increasing the conscious awareness levels of manager nurses.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of a mindfulness program applied to nurse managers on individual and organizational results. In the research, the Mindfulness-Based Program will be examined as the dependent variable, and the conscious awareness level of manager nurses, leadership behavior, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave will be examined as independent variables. The study was planned on the grounds that nurses need to be able to cope better with stress, reduce anxiety and burnout, and provide better job satisfaction in order to maintain a safe working life due to the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system.

Hypotheses of the research are as follows:

H0: Mindfulness-Based Program is not effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

H1: Mindfulness-Based Program is effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

The population of the research will be all the responsible nurses working as low-level managers at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Responsible nurses who meet the sampling criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study, and the participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups.

The responsible nurses working at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital will be listed and the eligibility criteria for participation in the study (not having participated in the mindfulness program before) will be questioned. Participants included in the study will be listed and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Randomization; Control and intervention groups will be assigned to the intervention or control group in the order of arrival, in line with the randomization list prepared in the Excel program using the random numbers method.

Before the implementation of the Mindfulness-Based Program , which will be implemented as an intervention in the research, all participants in the intervention and control groups were asked to use the Introductory Information Form, Conscious Awareness Scale, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, Maslach Burnout Scale, Job Performance (Task/Contextual Performance) Scale, Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-2. Data (pretest) will be collected with (ROCI II) and the Intention to Leave Scale.

Conscious Awareness, job satisfaction, burnout, job performance and conflict inventory data will be collected again immediately (posttest) and three months later (follow-up) after the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Program implementation.

Data will be collected on charge nurses evaluations of leadership behaviors and intention to leave the subordinates they work with. For this purpose, the Introductory Information Form, Intention to Leave Scale and Leadership Behavior Scale were collected from the subordinates of the responsible nurses in the intervention and control group, before (pre-test), after (post-test) and three months later (follow-up) the intervention and control group. Data will be collected on a timely basis.
