Purpose: This research was planned to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program on reducing the stress level and emotion regulation of nursing students.

H2: The perceived stress level of the nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will decrease according to their pretest scores.

H3: Emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the nursing students in the control group.

H4: The posttest and follow-up emotion regulation strategies of nursing students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction program will differ from the pretest.
