Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of a mindfulness program applied to nurse managers on individual and organizational results. In the research, the Mindfulness-Based Program will be examined as the dependent variable, and the conscious awareness level of manager nurses, leadership behavior, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave will be examined as independent variables. The study was planned on the grounds that nurses need to be able to cope better with stress, reduce anxiety and burnout, and provide better job satisfaction in order to maintain a safe working life due to the increasing workload and difficulties of the healthcare system. Hypotheses of the research are as follows: H0: Mindfulness-Based Program is not effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses. H1: Mindfulness-Based Program is effective on mindfulness, leadership behaviors, job satisfaction, job performance, burnout, conflict approach and intention to leave in manager nurses. The population of the research will be all the responsible nurses working as low-level managers at Koç University Hospital and Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital. Responsible nurses who meet the sampling criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study, and the participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Introductory Information Form

  The Introductory Information Form, created by the researchers as a result of literature review, consists of 13 items. The content of the Form includes questions regarding sociodemographic (age, gender, educational status, marital status), professional characteristics (years of experience, management time, unit worked) and conscious awareness practices.

• Conscious awareness scale (BIPÖ)

  The Conscious Awareness Scale (BIPQ), developed by Brown and Ryan in 2003, was adapted into Turkish by Özyesil et al. in 2011. The scale consists of 15 items and is one-dimensional. The Likert-type scale is rated by participants on a scale of 1 to 6 (1: almost always, 6: almost never). As the total score obtained from the scale increases, the level of conscious awareness increases. A minimum of 15 and a maximum of 90 points are taken from the scale. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the level of conscious awareness is high.

The Likert-type scale, which includes items expressing employee, task and change-oriented leadership behavior, is graded as (1) Strongly disagree, (2) Disagree, (3) Undecided, (4) Agree, (5) Strongly agree.

• Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale

  Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, developed by Weiss, Dawis, England \& Lofquist in 1967, was adapted into Turkish by Baycan (1985). The scale consists of three sub-dimensions: internal, external and general satisfaction and 20 items. It was made on a Likert type 5-point scale and was evaluated as (1) Very Dissatisfied, (2) Dissatisfied, (3) Undecided, (4) Satisfied, (5) Very Satisfied.

• Maslach Burnout Scale

  Maslach Burnout Scale, developed by Maslach and Jackson (1986), was adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992). The scale consists of 22 items and evaluates burnout in three subscales (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment). A high score from the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization sub-dimensions of the scale and a low score from the personal success sub-dimension indicates that the level of burnout is high.

• Job Performance (Task/Contextual Performance) Scale

  The scale developed by Goodman and Svyantek (1999) was adapted into Turkish by Ünlü and Yürür in 2011. The scale, which includes 25 items, has two sub-dimensions: contextual performance and task performance. The scale is rated as a five-point Likert, "Definitely True-5 points" and "Definitely Not True-1 point".
