A Brief (3-minute) Mindfulness Intervention Demonstrates Reduced Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Hospital Nursing Staff
I focus on this study for three reasons:
1) It is brief and potentially replicable as an intervention in other settings at minimal cost.
2) The Intervention – the Three Minute Breathing Space – has demonstrated efficacy and is easily taught.
3) The study author was taught to teach the Three Minute Breathing Space by one of the authors of the intervention, Zindel Siegal of the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation.
4) I was taught to teach the Three Minute Breathing Space by staff of the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation as part of the three hour curriculum “Introducing Mindfulness”.
