Effects of MINDBODYSTRONG program on newly licensed RNs

Editor's Note

This study found that the MINDBODYSTRONG for Healthcare Professionals program has excellent potential as an intervention for improving the mental health, healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors, and job satisfaction in newly licensed RNs.

Of 89 new RNs (divided into two groups, intervention and control) participating in a nurse residency program, the MINDBODYSTRONG intervention group scored significantly better with moderate to large positive effects on mental health variables and healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors compared with the control group.

The intervention group also had moderate to large positive effects for job satisfaction.
