Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine if implementing mindful meditation can reduce burnout and compassion fatigue in emergency department nurses. Methods. The research pulled from a sample size of 12. Six emergency nurses from varying shifts were given techniques and instructor guided meditations after taking a ProQOL survey and then six emergency nurses from varying shifts on took the ProQOL survey and did not receive any meditation. The sample of twelve then retook the ProQOL to compare compassion fatigue results. Results. The research showed a positive relation between those who were given mindful meditation techniques and those who were not. Implications. Though previous research had suggested a positive correlation between meditation and decreasing burnout and compassion fatigue. This research did not yield the same result.
