Abstract Objectives Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are effective in reducing anxiety and depression. Yet their impact on perceived stress among clinical nurses nursing students remains less explored. This study synthesizes evidence the effects of MBIs mitigating within this high-stress professional group. Methods We systematically searched two databases identified studies evaluating mindfulness stress. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated using random-effects models. Thirty-six involving 2,201 participants included. Separate meta-analyses conducted for (1) one-sample pre-post designs (2) intervention-control designs. Subgroup analyses examined control type (active vs. non-active), intervention mode (instructor-led self-directed), setting (workplace non-workplace). Sensitivity performed to assess robustness findings. Results Mindfulness significantly reduced stress, with medium (SMD = -0.54 [-0.77, -0.31]) small -0.21 [-0.37, -0.05]). revealed stronger instructor-led interventions, workplace settings, non-active controls. confirmed stability findings, no single disproportionately influencing pooled effect sizes. Conclusions meta-analysis reaffirms efficacy students. These findings highlight potential tailored promote mental health resilience professionals, while underscoring need further robust, region-specific randomized controlled trials refine strategies long-term impacts.

Over the past two decades, fields of social and contemplative neurosciences have made significant strides. Initial research utilizing fMRI identified neuronal networks involved in empathy, mentalizing, compassion, as well complex interactions among these networks. Subsequent studies shifted to testing plasticity skills via different types mindfulness- or compassion-based mental training programs, demonstrating brain plasticity, enhanced capacities motivation, improved health overall well-being. Next, researchers developed scalable evidence-based online programs address growing levels problems loneliness, both exacerbated by COVID-19 pandemic. Innovative approaches, such novel relational partner-based practices app-based dyadic offer solutions counteract ongoing societal deterioration. Current are now applying above findings support resilience building within diverse domains society professional populations-such healthcare workers teachers-at high risk burn-out. Future should explore broader impact training-related individual changes on larger systems, potentially leading development a translational neuroscience approach that leverages insights from needs, thereby enhancing resilience, health, cohesion.
