Abstract

The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the effect of mindfulness training on student-observed safety violations in a simulated patient hospital room. Students in their first medical-surgical clinical semester were randomized with the intervention group receiving mindfulness training before the simulation. Timed observation data, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning were used to compare groups. A one-way between-group multivariate analysis of variance to measure differences revealed no difference between the groups (F (4, 67) = 1.85, p = .129; Wilks’ Lambda = .9). Although the findings from this pilot study did not demonstrate significant differences between the groups, mindfulness training has the potential to impact observed safety violations. Further investigation is warranted with a larger sample size to better discern differences between the groups.
