Abstract
Background: Across the country, nursing students are experiencing alarming amounts of stress. While stress is a common phenomenon, it has been shown to negatively impact nursing student performance and general health. One solution to this issue is mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). Reported effects of MBSR include stress reduction; mindfulness; improvements in self-esteem; increase in general health; a decrease in anxiety; and an increase in empathy. Because MBSR is not widely included in nursing curricula, students are not learning stress reduction techniques needed to manage daily stress. Purpose: To address this gap, a DNP project was implemented at a university site. The project’s purpose was two-fold: To increase the knowledge of faculty and to provide educational resources for students. Methods: A toolkit was developed that included a Power Point presentation for faculty; a copy of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS); and handouts on stress and MBSR techniques for students. Thirty-four faculty in an online family nurse practitioner program were offered the toolkit at one university in California; five faculty participated and completed the surveys. Results: Valuable data was obtained on the effectiveness of the presentation on faculty knowledge, perception, acceptance, and willingness to use the resources provided. Conclusion: When provided with a toolkit on stress and MBSR techniques, faculty became more aware of the significance of stress and stated they were willing to utilize the resources provided in future online classes.

Title
Mindfulness Among Healthcare Professionals
Currently, cases of disrespect, stress, prejudgment, reduced concentration at work, poor conflict resolution skills, reduced resilience, reduced engagement in physical activities, and reduced expression of creative arts, among others, have increased significantly among various professionals. These actions have derailed the reputation of various professionals. They have also compromised the professionals’ deliverables, thus leaving their clients unsatisfied. This study, therefore, is specific to healthcare professionals. Healthcare is a very vital service in the life of humans, such that the people providing it must always be keen and sober when on duty. This argumentative essay will aim to teach healthcare professionals on the importance of mindfulness and how such knowledge can improve the quality of the delivery of healthcare services.
Shea (2016) states that “The present defines the future. The future builds on the foundation of the past” (15). Mindfulness has a history chronologically describing how it came about. The practice of mindfulness practice was employed in various religious and philosophical teachings such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yoga. More recently, the practice has expanded into non-religious meditation. Mindfulness was mainly popular in the religious and spiritual communities of the East. Its spread in the Western world can only be linked to particular people and secular institutions. It is important to note that some commentators argue that the history of mindfulness should not only be confined to Buddhism and Hinduism, as the practice also has origin in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (Shea 20). Depending on people’s thoughts, many theories can be applied to explain the history of mindfulness, leading to conflicting conclusions.
The possible arguments of the theories can be traced to its origin in the field of medicine, Christianity, and Islam. Mindfulness might indeed have been much applied in the Christian, Islam, and the medicine set up. However, at the time of this research, there existed no material pieces of evidence to support that. The available materials show that mindfulness was popularly used in Buddhism and Hinduism. The modern western world later came to learn the practice of mindfulness from the traditions of Buddhists and Hindus. Therefore, this paper will focus on mindfulness from a Buddhist and Hindu perspective. In the succeeding paragraphs, we will get to know the different mental and emotional issues that healthcare professionals struggle with, the general definition of mindful practices, specific mindful practices that may help the healthcare professionals. The paper will address any opposing arguments and, finally, offer opportunities for future research.
From the resources employed to develop this paper, there is significant evidence that shows that the increase in anxiety disorders, sleep diso ...
