About this trial
Nurses often work in busy and stressful hospital environments, which can affect their well-being, job satisfaction, and work performance. Mindfulness is a set of practices that help individuals focus on the present moment and cope better with stress. Mindfulness-based programs have been shown to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being in healthcare workers, but their effects on nurses' job satisfaction and work performance are not yet well understood.
This study aims to examine whether a mindfulness-based psychoeducation program can reduce job stress and improve job satisfaction and job performance among nurses. The study will include nurses working in a public hospital in Isparta, Turkey. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group that receives the mindfulness program or a control group. All participants will complete assessments before the program, after the program, and again three months later.
The findings of this study are expected to provide useful information on whether mindfulness training can improve nurse's important work-related outcomes.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Job stress
Job stress will be measured using the General Work Stress Scale (GİSÖ), adapted into Turkish by Teleş (2021). The scale consists of 9 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Never, 5 = Always) and evaluates general work-related stress among nurses.
Time frame
Baseline, Week 4, Week 162
Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction will be assessed using the Short Form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (SFMSQ), Turkish version by Baycan (1985). The scale includes 20 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Very dissatisfied, 5 = Very satisfied) and measures overall job satisfaction, intrinsic satisfaction, and extrinsic satisfaction.
Time frame
Baseline, Week 4, Week 163
Individual Job Performance
Individual job performance will be measured using the Individual Job Performance Scale, Turkish adaptation (Köroğlu Kaba \& Öztürk, 2021). The 14-item scale assesses three domains: task performance (items 1-5), contextual performance (items 6-11), and counterproductive work behavior (items 12-14), rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Rarely, 5 = Always).
