To review primary articles using the EBP process to determine the impact exercise has on mental health and provide recommendations.
BOWLING STAT
“Results showed that mindfulness-based self-efficacy fulfilled a prominent role in mediating meditation and exercise program effects. Findings suggest that mindfulness and exercise training share similar mechanisms that can improve global mental health, including adaptive responses to stress.” (Goldstein et al., 2018, p. 1816)
GRASDALSMOEN STAT
Improvements in depression, anxiety, and stress were all indicated as 5% or greater. The overall well being showed an improvement of just over 2% (Hallam et al., 2018).
HARVEY STAT
Identification of problem
best facts, stats, from everyone, need citations
3 CG- based on the DASS, there was a 8.9% improvement in stress levels, 7.6% in depression and anxiety improved by 5%. overall well being improved by 2.1% (Hallam et al., 2018)

Goldstein et al., (2018)
PURPOSE:
To determine how meditation and exercise play a role in stress and mental health
SAMPLE:
413 individuals recruited, 390 completed the entire trial
METHODS:
Participants were divided into 3 groups, each group had a different activity (MBSR training, matched exercise training or wait-list control).
Data Collection: Self-Report questionnaires, SF-12, Perceived Stress Scale, MAAS: Mindfulness Attention, MSES: Mindfulness Self-Efficacy, ESES: Exercise Self-Efficacy and GPAQ MET-hours/week
FINDINGS:
Mindfulness and exercise training improved mental health and stress response
SYNTHESIS OF FINDINGS:
Healthcare professionals should utilize mindfulness and exercise in a patient’s plan of care as stress reducers and well-being enhancers. The combination of the two can promote mental well-being.

ARTICLE 4
Hallam et al., (2018)
PURPOSE:
to determine what impact a step challenge done in a workplace had on mental health and wellbeing
SAMPLE:
1,963 participants from 23 countries, mainly from India and Australia
METHODS:
Tools
DASS, WEMWBS, Step trackers/devices
Data Collected
surveys before and after intervention
daily steps taken
FINDINGS:
Stress levels improved by almost 9%
Depression levels improved by 7.6%
Anxiety levels improved by 5%
SYNTHESIS OF FINDINGS:
Reaching a goal is not as important as the participation itself.
(Hallam et al., 2018).
Purpose:
assess what the impact of doing a 10k step challenge has on a person's mental health
Sample:
there were almost 2000 participants for this study
Age range: 16-74 1,458 men
505 women
•
Methods (Intervention, Data Collection Methods/Tools
tools used included the DASS, WEMWBS, step trackers
data from the questionnaire were taken before and after the intervention and compared to their daily steps taken, the intervention was participating in a 10k daily step challenge
Findings: Participant Characteristics & Key Study Findings
•
Synthesis of Findings
hitting a 10k step goal is not as important as just participating in the challenge

Nursing Implications
BOWLING
Nursing professionals can implement mindfulness and exercise in care plans and in discharge planning for patients with mental health concerns. This will teach better management of stress and reactions to anxiety provoking scenarios.
GRASDALSMOEN
Participation in a challenge proved to be better than reaching a goal
HARVEY
CG- the study determined that just taking part in the step challenge showed positive results, participants did not need to reach the goal have improvements
