Abstract
AimMindful-based stress reduction (MBSR) by freshman nursing students could potentially increase academic success in both the clinical and classroom settings by decreasing stress and anxiety levels. BackgroundNursing student anxiety has been widely researched in the literature; however, positive coping mechanisms have not. High levels of anxiety and stress have been proven to narrow the perceptual field, decrease retention of learned material, and increase nursing student failure. MBSR focuses on developing new thought processes in order to elicit the behavior of mindfulness. MethodLiterature search included EBSCO host, CINAHL, and MEDLINE. ResultsThere is a lack of research that includes student clinical and classroom outcomes based on MBSR to assist the nursing student in academic success and clinical reasoning. ConclusionIt is surmised that combining Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping with MBSR would be a solid framework for guiding nursing faculty in the practice of mindfulness for anxiety and stress reduction in nursing students. FundingThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
