Effects of Mindfulness-Based Program on Individual and Organizational Output of Frontline Manager Nurses:

June 11, 2024 updated by: Nazmiye Koseoglu, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

The Mindfulness Level of Manager Nurses, Leadership Behavior, Job Satisfaction, Job Performance, Burnout, Conflict Approach and Intention to Leave Will be Examined as Independent Variables.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of a mindfulness program applied to nurse managers on individual and organizational results. In the research, the Mindfulness-Based Program will be examined as the dependent variable, and the conscious awareness level of manager nurses, leadership behavior, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave will be examined as independent variables. The study was planned on the grounds that nurses need to be able to cope better with stress, reduce anxiety and burnout, and provide better job satisfaction in order to maintain a safe working life due to the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system.

Hypotheses of the research are as follows:

H0: Mindfulness-Based Program is not effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

H1: Mindfulness-Based Program is effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

The population of the research will be all the responsible nurses working as low-level managers at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Responsible nurses who meet the sampling criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study, and the participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups.

Detailed Description

In Turkey, studies on mindfulness in the nursing sample were carried out mostly descriptively, and nurses mindfulness levels were found to be at a medium level (Aşık and Albayrak, 2021; Özaydın, 2019). Considering the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system, healthcare facility managers need to pay attention to the issue so that nurses can better cope with stress and reduce their anxiety and burnout in order to maintain a safe working life. This is a prerequisite for providing safe service to patients by providing better job satisfaction and performance. It may be possible to improve individual, team and organizational results with programs aimed at increasing the conscious awareness levels of manager nurses.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of a mindfulness program applied to nurse managers on individual and organizational results. In the research, the Mindfulness-Based Program will be examined as the dependent variable, and the conscious awareness level of manager nurses, leadership behavior, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave will be examined as independent variables. The study was planned on the grounds that nurses need to be able to cope better with stress, reduce anxiety and burnout, and provide better job satisfaction in order to maintain a safe working life due to the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system.

Hypotheses of the research are as follows:

H0: Mindfulness-Based Program is not effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

H1: Mindfulness-Based Program is effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses.

The population of the research will be all the responsible nurses working as low-level managers at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Responsible nurses who meet the sampling criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study, and the participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups.

The responsible nurses working at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital will be listed and the eligibility criteria for participation in the study (not having participated in the mindfulness program before) will be questioned. Participants included in the study will be listed and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Randomization; Control and intervention groups will be assigned to the intervention or control group in the order of arrival, in line with the randomization list prepared in the Excel program using the random numbers method.

Before the implementation of the Mindfulness-Based Program , which will be implemented as an intervention in the research, all participants in the intervention and control groups were asked to use the Introductory Information Form, Conscious Awareness Scale, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, Maslach Burnout Scale, Job Performance (Task/Contextual Performance) Scale, Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-2. Data (pretest) will be collected with (ROCI II) and the Intention to Leave Scale.

Conscious Awareness, job satisfaction, burnout, job performance and conflict inventory data will be collected again immediately (posttest) and three months later (follow-up) after the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Program implementation.

Data will be collected on charge nurses evaluations of leadership behaviors and intention to leave the subordinates they work with. For this purpose, the Introductory Information Form, Intention to Leave Scale and Leadership Behavior Scale were collected from the subordinates of the responsible nurses in the intervention and control group, before (pre-test), after (post-test) and three months later (follow-up) the intervention and control group. Data will be collected on a timely basis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Introductory Information Form
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of three months
The Introductory Information Form, created by the researchers as a result of literature review, consists of 13 items. The content of the Form includes questions regarding sociodemographic (age, gender, educational status, marital status), professional characteristics (years of experience, management time, unit worked) and conscious awareness practices.
through study completion, an average of three months
Conscious awareness scale (BIPÖ)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of three months
The Conscious Awareness Scale (BIPQ), developed by Brown and Ryan in 2003, was adapted into Turkish by Özyesil et al. in 2011. The scale consists of 15 items and is one-dimensional. The Likert-type scale is rated by participants on a scale of 1 to 6 (1: almost always, 6: almost never). As the total score obtained from the scale increases, the level of conscious awareness increases. A minimum of 15 and a maximum of 90 points are taken from the scale. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the level of conscious awareness is high.
through study completion, an average of three months
Leadership Behavior Scale
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of three months
The leadership behavior scale developed by Ekvall and Arvonen (1991) was adapted into Turkish by Tengilimoglu in 2005. The scale consists of 36 items and has 3 subscales. The Likert-type scale, which includes items expressing employee, task and change-oriented leadership behavior, is graded as (1) Strongly disagree, (2) Disagree, (3) Undecided, (4) Agree, (5) Strongly agree.
through study completion, an average of three months
Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of three months
Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, developed by Weiss, Dawis, England & Lofquist in 1967, was adapted into Turkish by Baycan (1985).

The scale consists of 22 items and evaluates burnout in three subscales (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment). A high score from the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization sub-dimensions of the scale and a low score from the personal success sub-dimension indicates that the level of burnout is high.
through study completion, an average of three months
Job Performance (Task/Contextual Performance) Scale
