Can mindfulness training ease Midwives' job stress?
NCT ID NCT05495022
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers test whether an 8-session mindfulness-based stress reduction program can lower anxiety and work-related burnout and improve job satisfaction among midwives. Midwives at a Turkish hospital join either the program or a control group. The program runs online twice a week for four weeks, and participants answer questionnaires before and after.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give hospitals a low-cost, drug-free way to help midwives manage anxiety and burnout.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-hospital study, so results may not apply to midwives elsewhere. Mindfulness programs do not work for everyone, and any benefits may fade without continued practice.
