Mindfulness Interventions Improve Sleep Disturbance for ICU Nurses
Here is another small study which supports the benefits of Mindfulness Interventions to support nurses’ well-being and address sleep disturbance, which the study reports is common in Intensive Care Unit Nurses. The study design is particularly interesting because it compares a live Mindfulness Intervention consisting of four one-hour weekly sessions with home practice to a control consisting of watching four Mindfulness videos. Improvement in self-reported sleep disturbance was reported by both groups, with greater benefit reported by the group receiving the live training. I find it significant that the comparison group, which received a less effective intervention, benefitted nonetheless.
