Mindfulness-Based Intervention Targeting Psychological Capital to Reduce Job Burnout Among Nurses

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a mindfulness-based intervention can reduce job burnout and enhance psychological capital among hospital nurses. The study will involve female nurses aged 22-50 working in four tertiary hospitals in Taizhou, China. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can mindfulness practice improve nurses' psychological capital (as measured by the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, PCQ-24)? Can it reduce job burnout (as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey, MBI-GS)? Is there a sustained effect over time (2 and 4 months post-intervention)? Researchers will compare the intervention group (mindfulness practice) with a control group (routine work, no additional intervention) to see if mindfulness leads to measurable improvements in psychological well-being and burnout symptoms. Participants will: Complete online questionnaires at baseline,and at 2 and 4 month follow-ups. Engage in a structured mindfulness practice program delivered via a mobile app (intervention group only). Continue their routine work responsibilities throughout the study period. This study also explores the influence of multilevel psychological capital-at the individual, organizational, and family levels-on nurse burnout, aiming to develop an evidence-based, scalable approach to address nurse mental health in high-stress healthcare environments.
