Methods

Two electronic databases, PubMed and Cumulative Index Nursing and Allied Health

Literature (CINAHL) were searched on March 8, 2021 based on the population, intervention and

outcome of interest. The key search terms used within the titles and abstracts were the following:

mindfulness, emotional regulation, cognitive behavioral therapy, nurses, burnout, resilience,

hardiness, coping. The search was performed with Boolean Operators “AND” and “OR” and two

filters, publication date within 10 years (2011- 2021) and published in English. Advanced search

terms including subject headings are included in Table 1.

The inclusion and exclusion criteria are presented in Table 2. This review evaluated

interventions performed among nurses who were working in an inpatient setting at the time of

the study. To gather more evidence, the review included implementations done in other health

care professionals along with nurses; however, studies without nurses (nursing students, new

grad nurses/nurse residents, nurse practitioners, physicians only) were excluded. Any

noninterventional studies, studies that took place in outpatient setting/clinics, and interventions

related to workplace bullying were excluded as well.

The review considered interventions related to mindfulness, emotional regulation,

cognitive behavioral therapy, and resilience. Physical or pharmacotherapeutic interventions, or

interventions done by a specialist such as yoga, omega 3 fatty acid, art therapy, or the Mantra

Repetition Program were excluded. This review did not include interventions longer than 8

weeks.

Studies with primary or secondary outcome measure as burnout, depersonalization or

presenteeism were included. Additional outcome measures such as quality of life, depression,

resilience, mindfulness were considered.

A total of 755 potential articles were selected from the final search of electronic

databases. 566 articles remained after removal of duplicates, and 74 after screening of titles and

abstracts. After reviewing full text to determine eligibility, 58 were removed due to

interventions, intervention duration, outcome measures, population, and type of studies. Five

doctoral papers and nine meta-analysis or systematic reviews were not included due to variation

in interventions and outcome measures. The final 16 studies were critically appraised using the

Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists to decrease bias. A total of 16 studies were

accepted in this synthesis (Figure 1). The data was extracted using a table including study design,

sample size and characteristics (# of nurses included), interventions descriptions, comparison,

outcome measures, screening tools for outcome measures, results, and appraisal.
