The purpose of the DNP project was to assist students to recognize, reduce, and manage their stress. The mindfulness meditation interventions are an effective strategy to manage and reduce stress. The project was set in a southeastern part of the United States at a community college that had an associate degree nursing program. At present, nursing education does not include stress and the management of stress in the curriculum. The project targeted associate degree nursing students to teach students how stress influences their lives and evidence-based strategies to alleviate their stress in clinical practice and in future practice. Two valid and reliable instruments, the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) developed by Dr. Kirk Brown and the Perceived Stress Scale developed by Sheldon Cohen, evaluated students' perception of stress and awareness of mindfulness in everyday experiences. Implementation of the project was through Moodle Learning Platform, an electronic learning vehicle at the college, lasting for a duration of nine weeks. The project produced mixed results in some reviewed statistical areas but demonstrated statistical significance in senior students' use and perceived benefits of practicing mindfulness meditation strategies post-project implementation. Sustainability of the project would be easily replicated through implementation of face-to-face meetings or through an electronic learning platform.

"Background: Strengthening attention-regulation efficiency of nurse graduates is important to the quality and safety of nursing practice in increasingly complex and cognitively distracting workplace environments (Burger & Lockhart, 2017). Academic and clinical stressors are experienced by most nursing students enrolled in a nursing program (Yuksel & Yilmaz, 2020). Local problem: Heavy academic workloads, stressors from clinical placements such as complex patient care and lack of effective coping strategies for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: The participant population for this project included 8 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a traditional baccalaureate program at a Southern Louisiana University. (n=8). Participation in the project was voluntary. Intervention: The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to evaluate the stress perception of undergraduate nursing students utilizing mindfulness meditation. This would be done through an app from the participants' smartphone device 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Results: The evaluation of the project's outcomes after completion of the mindfulness meditation program revealed that there was a 43% decrease in mean scores from pre- to post-intervention. Evaluation of this EBP project was determined by setting a benchmark to see a 25% decrease in mean scores of participants' perceived stress. Conclusions: Given the connection between nurses' attention regulation capacity and safe patient care, the effectiveness of mindfulness techniques has proven to be a reliable tool when it comes to managing the stress perception of nursing students. Utilization of stress management techniques in nursing education could increase student performance and decrease attrition rates.

Further research, using rigorous scientific methods, will be needed to study the most effective methods to evaluate and manage stress and anxiety. This could ultimately decrease the stress and anxiety levels and improve well-being for student nurses and nurses, which could in turn positively impact patient care and outcomes.

Simple main effects analyses showed a reduction in symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety, as well as a significant increase in reported feelings of mindfulness in the experimental group. Findings of the study support the need to better recognize mental health challenges in nursing students and to consider the use of meditation practice in nursing programs to improve psychological outcomes.

"This is an evidence-based practice (EBP) change project that addresses the issue of uncontrolled stress in undergraduate nursing students. The following paper discusses the implementation of daily mindfulness meditation using a smartphone app to decrease the level of perceived stress in undergraduate nursing students at a southeastern college. The participants consisted of undergraduate students in their second course of the Associate Degree in Nursing Program, including males and females, of varying ages, ethnicities and educational backgrounds. Each participant used the smartphone app daily for 5 minutes over the course of the 8-week period. Levels of stress prior to and post intervention were evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale which uses a ten-item Likert scale to evaluate presentation of stress using a scoring table (Cohen, 1983). The results of this EBP practice change project supported the proposed idea that mindfulness meditation would decrease perceived levels of stress in undergraduate nursing students. The intervention proved to be a low cost, and effective, initiative that can be easily reproduced and shared with healthcare organizations and academic institutions to effectively decrease perceived levels of stress.

Stress and anxiety impact the lives of undergraduate nursing students. Learning how to cope with the stressfull demands of nursing school is essential for student success. Watson's caring and healing philosophy notes that learning to care for self is foundational in learning to care for others. Literature also reports that nursing programs across the country are lacking instruction on alternative therapies as a self-care method. A need to integrate self-care into curricula was identified by personal knowing as a nursing clinical instructor and through a self-care questionnaire to undergraduate obstetric nursing students. The integration of mindfulness meditation as a means of self-care, into a eight week undergraduate nursing clinical rotation using Watson's theoretical framework proved to be a stress reliever. The process of mindfulness meditation as a self-care method was an effective way to reduce stress and anxiety in undergraduate nurisng students.

Mindfulness involves learning to be more aware of life as it unfolds moment by moment, even if these moments bring us difficulty, pain or suffering. This is a challenge we will all face at some time in our lives, and which health professionals face every day in their work. The Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living programme presents a new way of learning how to face the pressures of modern living by providing an antidote which teaches us how to cultivate kindness and compassion – starting with being kind to ourselves. Compassion involves both sensitivity to our own and others’ suffering and the courage to deal with it. Integrating the work of experts in the field such as Paul Gilbert, Kristin Neff, Christopher Germer and Tara Brach, Erik van den Brink and Frits Koster have established an eight stage step-by-step compassion training programme, supported by practical exercises and free audio downloads, which builds on basic mindfulness skills. Grounded in ancient wisdom and modern science, they demonstrate how being compassionate shapes our minds and brains, and benefits our health and relationships. The programme will be helpful to many, including people with various types of chronic or recurring mental health problems, and can be an effective means of coping better with low self-esteem, self-reproach or shame, enabling participants to experience more warmth, safeness, acceptance and connection with themselves and others. Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living will be an invaluable manual for mindfulness teachers, therapists and counsellors wishing to bring the ‘care’ back into healthcare, both for their clients and themselves. It can also be used as a self-help guide for personal practice.
