First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding game-like features to a 12-week mindfulness program can help first-year nursing students reduce burnout, stress, and anxiety. Participants are randomly assigned to a gamified mindfulness group, a standard mindfulness group, or a minimal-treatment control group. The goal is to see if the gamified approach improves adherence and leads to better emotional well-being.
