Summary

Background: Nurses who worked with patients with COVID-19 in hospitals have experienced several threatening and challenging situations, negatively affecting psychological health. M-health-based mindfulness-based interventions were found to improve psychological health in various populations.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a m-Health-based mindfulness-based intervention on anxiety, depression, stress among Jordanian registered nurses taking care of COVID-19 patients.

Methodology: The study was conducted using a pretest post-test randomized controlled design. One hundred and two nurses were recruited from a Jordanian Hospital and randomly distributed into experimental group (n=51) and control group (n= 51). The study data were collected using a self-report questionnaire working in the King Abdullah University hospital at baseline and at the end of intervention. For five weeks, the experimental group had five individual 30-minute MBI sessions. An audio-based MBI that was given to them via the WhatsApp served as the research intervention. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect the study data as follows: 1) demographic characteristics and 2) Mindful Attention Awareness, and 3) Scale the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The study outcomes were measured at baseline and at the end of the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Version 26.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-based intervention

• The mindful mediators are asked to act as neutral observers who view the world as it is, without reactions, judgments, and evaluations. They quietly attend to, note, and let go of every internal external stimulus such as thought, feeing, sensation, sound, idea that enters awareness. They do not try to think about, push away, and do anything with these stimuli experienced and do not have to figure out the connections between each 19 stimuli. They simply let each stimulus come and go and wait for the next stimulus. They do not have to be concerned about distractions. Each time they are distracted, they note it as yet another passing stimulus (Ah, a distraction… how interesting")
