@article { , title = {Nurses' experiences of the effects of mindfulness training: A narrative review and qualitative meta-synthesis}, abstract = {Objective: To explore nurses' experiences of the effects of undertaking mindfulness training. Design: Qualitative meta-synthesis. Data sources: Qualitative literature from seven scientific databases: Pubmed, Cochran Library, Science Direct, EBSCO, Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO were searched. Review methods: The PRISMA flow diagram was used to report the phases of the literature search. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) qualitative research checklist, and the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) for mixed method studies were used as appraisal framework. Data synthesis was conducted using Thematic synthesis. The review steps were guided by Adams, Chamberlain, \& Giles, 2019 and Whittemore \& Knafl, 2005. Results: 4 qualitative studies and 3 mixed-methods studies were included in the review. Four interpretive themes were generated to show how nurses experience of the effects of mindfulness training: 1. Stress conceptualisation and management; 2. Nurses' valued aspects of mindfulness training strategies; 3. Self-care awareness and strategies; 4. Challenges of mindfulness training. Conclusion: Conducting mindfulness-based interventions among nursing professionals helps to reduce work-related stress and has positive effects on work and life.}, doi = {10.1016/j.nedt.2021.104830}, eissn = {1532-2793}, issn = {0260-6917}, journal = {Nurse Education Today}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Elsevier}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/3742643}, volume = {100}, keyword = {Health and Health Inequalities, Mindfulness, Nurses, Qualitative review}, year = {2021}, author = {Wu, Xiaxin and Hayter, Mark and Lee, Amanda J. and Zhang, Yu} }
