The goal of this type of study: quasi-experimental clinical trial . The purpose of thisstudy is to explore the effects of applying mindfulness-based mobile applications programto maintaining mental health of emergency nurses during providing care to COVID-19patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. To explore the effect of mindfulness-based mobile device-assisted program on care stress of emergency nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. 2. To explore the impact of mindfulness-based mobile device-assisted programs on the psychological distress of emergency nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. 3. To explore the impact of a mindfulness-based mobile device-assisted program on compassion fatigue in emergency nurses caring for COVID-19 patients.Participants will Mindfulness-based mobile device is provided to experimental group asassistance for 2 weeks. In the contrary, no intervention measure was assigned in thecontrol group. Scale exam was performed before and after the program in both groups atthe same time.
This study was a quasi-experimental study with two groups of pretest and posttest to
facilitate sampling from the emergency room of Mackay Memorial Hospital. Emergency nurses
at Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital were in the experimental group, and emergency nurses
at Tamsui Mackay Memorial Hospital were in the control group. These cases are expected to
be accepted. There were 54 people in the experimental group and 54 people in the control
group. The experimental group received a two-week mindfulness-based mobility
device-assisted program. The program is a mobile application developed by researchers and
designed for use on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. The program content
is facilitated and guided by certified instructors from the Center for Mindfulness (CFM)
at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Five suitable sound files were
provided to guide subjects in practicing mindfulness. Each audio file is approximately 10
to 15 minutes in length. The control group did not take any intervention measures. The
experimental group was tested on the scale before and after the program, and the control
group was also measured at the same time. Research tools include the Nursing Stress
Scale, Psychological Distress Scale, and Compassion Exhaustion Scale. The SPSS 20.0
software package was used for statistical analysis and processing of the data, and
covariates were used to analyze the results. The findings will help improve mental health
by reducing stress, psychological distress and compassion fatigue among emergency nurse
practitioners caring for COVID-19 patients.
Device: mindfulness-based mobile applications program
Every two days is the same practice sound file, which must be practiced in order, so each
sound file will be locked, for example: 9/9, 9/10 listen to the first sound file
practice, 9/11, 9/12 listen to the second Practice with two sound files... and so on.
After two days, the sound files will be automatically unlocked, and the subjects can
continue to practice. The first ten days need to be practiced in order. From the eleventh
day, each sound file will be unlocked. You can choose an audio file to practice, and the
page will record the time and items of the practice, and you can also use text to record
your experience after the practice
