Abstract:
Objective:To explore effects of breathing meditation training on fatigue and anxiety state of nurses.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 32 neurological nurses from a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital were selected as the research objects from June 1 to September 1, 2019. A breathing meditation training program was developed and breathing meditation training was performed 5 times a week, 25 minutes each time, for 6 consecutive weeks. Before and after the intervention, Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFI-20) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used to evaluate patients in the two groups.Results:After the intervention, the total score of MFI-20 and the scores of all dimensions were reduced. Except for the reduction of activities, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, SAS scores of 32 nurses were (33.90±2.54) , which was lower than that (38.78±2.23) before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=7.956, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Breathing meditation training can effectively improve the anxiety level of nurses and relieve their fatigue state.
