Positive health technique for stressed nurses found

Within the health care industry and beyond, daily exposure to stress can lead to negative

consequences for employees both on and off the job -- from apathy and burnout to physical illness or men

tal impairments. New Open Access research published in Journal of Workplace Behavioral H

ealth suggests the implementation of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction(MBSR) program can reduce employee stress and burnout.

"MBSR was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 1979 in an effort to teach patients with chronic medical conditions how to lead fuller and healthier lives," wrote the researchers. "Mindfulness is defined as a self-directed practice for relaxing the body and calming the mind through focusing on present-moment awareness."
