Can a Mind-Body program help nurses beat burnout while caring for HIV patients?
NCT ID NCT06548035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a specially adapted mind-body program (the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program) to help nurses in South Africa who care for people with HIV manage stress and prevent burnout. About 60 nurses took part in a small pilot to see if the program was practical and well-liked. The goal was to gather feedback and early data, not to prove the program works on a large scale.
