This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a program called the Mindful Compassion Care Program (MCCP) to help hospital nurses manage burnout and psychological distress from working during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program teaches mindfulness—a practice of focusing your attention on the present moment without judgment—combined with compassion skills to help you understand and cope with your own stress and that of your patients. Researchers want to see if this training can reduce emotional exhaustion and improve overall well-being in nurses working in high-stress hospital units.
Hospital nurses, especially those caring for COVID-19 patients, experienced severe stress, exhaustion, and mental health challenges during the pandemic. While mindfulness programs have helped healthcare workers in the past, researchers want to test whether adding compassion training makes this treatment even more effective at reducing burnout and protecting nurses' psychological health during crises.

If you are selected for the active program, you will attend six weekly sessions lasting 90 minutes each, plus one full-day training session (4.5 hours) where you will learn mindfulness and compassion techniques. If you are placed on the waiting list, you will wait to receive the program at a later time while the researchers track how you are doing. The program teaches practical skills you can use to manage stress and build resilience in your daily work.
