Summary
This study tests a mobile app-supported mindful caring education program designed to help nurses improve their self-care, self-compassion, quality of life, and interactions with patients. Nurses with at least two years of experience in adult units are eligible to participate. The program includes four sessions and a three-month app use period.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a practical tool to help nurses reduce burnout and improve their well-being and patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's benefits depend on consistent app use.
