Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on Professional Quality of Life, Work Engagement, and Sleep Quality

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention on professional quality of life, work engagement, and sleep quality in pediatric and neonatal nurses. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based intervention on professional quality of life, work engagement, and sleep quality among pediatric and neonatal nurses. Pediatric and neonatal nurses (number = 208) will be conducted at King Abdullah Hospital, Rahmah Hospital, Al-Basher Hospital, and Jordan University Hospital after getting the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval from Jordan University of Science and Technology, in addition to the IRB from the Ministry of Health. The nurses will be allocated into two groups, one as an interventional group and one as a control group, and the participants will be asked to complete the pretest questionnaire (baseline pre-intervention) and then the post-test at the end of the intervention (8 weeks after baseline). Data will be collected using online questionnaires of the study variables and a demographic questionnaire for the participants. Data will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 26).

The main goal of this study is to assess professional quality of life, work engagement, and sleep quality among nurses in a pediatric and neonatal unit in Jordan. A secondary aim was to examine the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention on nurses' professional quality of life, work engagement, and sleep quality in pediatric and neonatal nurses. Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with two groups will be used to achieve the primary study goal. Pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, where the experimental group received the mindfulness intervention, and the control group received no intervention.

The study was conducted at four major hospitals in northern and central Jordan after getting IRB approval from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and research settings. The participants in this study Jordanian nurses were recruited from two different departments one is the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the second department is Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The participants were invited to participate in the study through direct invitations by a member of the research team. The study was fully explained to them and informed consents were obtained from each individual participant. The nurses were assigned into two groups, one as an interventional group, and one as a control group. The intervention group who were willing to attend the mindfulness sessions participated in the intervention. The participants were invited to complete the data collection surveys to collect the baseline data. Then, the intervention group participants participated in the mindfulness-based intervention program. After completing the intervention, 8 weeks after baseline, post-intervention data were collected.
