This study assessed the impact of a six-week Reflective Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Training (RMERT) program on fourth-year nursing students. Using a randomized controlled trial with 40 participants, the intervention group (n=20) received RMERT, while the control group (n=20) continued standard coursework.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Reflective Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation training

The RMERT program consisted of six weekly 90-minute sessions facilitated by researchers trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and transactional analysis (TA). The training employed the ABC model of CBT (Activating events, Beliefs, and Consequences) to address maladaptive cognitive patterns, along with TA techniques such as empathic inquiry and reflection. Relaxation strategies, including diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, were also integrated. The sessions focused on enabling students to reflect on their mental and emotional states, process their feelings, and apply cognitive reappraisal-a healthy emotional regulation strategy-instead of relying on expressive suppression, which is maladaptive.
