Blueprint for the Mindfulness Based Hospital?
Well, not exactly. More like a planning guide for introducing Mindfulness Based Interventions in a hospital. This 2024 qualitative review of 18 studies synthesized the factors affecting implementation in hospital settings. The study identified three overall themes important for successful implementation. Reading this study reminded me of my experiences as a new graduate RN. I was employed in a rural hospital in the Catskill region of New York State. I was on a committee which was the “change agent” charged with replacing the “team nursing” model with the “primary nursing” model hospital wide. A guide like this paper would have been so helpful then. I recommend it to anyone planning to introduce Mindfulness to nursing or other hospital staff.
