Abstract
Physical and psychological injuries occur at a high rate among nurses and nursing assistants (NNAs). The humanitarian and economic costs associated with injuries to these vulnerable workers is a global health concern. The characteristics and organization of work are major determinants of injuries. Individual differences are also important determinants with mindfulness skills being particularly relevant for injury prevention. There is a developing and promising literature examining mindfulness-based behavior therapy (MBBTs) for NNA psychological and physical injuries. Most research has been limited to Western countries and Western NNAs using MBBT interventions that use concepts and techniques from Eastern philosophy, religion, and cultures. The borrowing of these concepts and techniques was haphazard and incomplete which may limit their effectiveness. There is a pressing need to develop and evaluate MBBTs for NNAs that more thoughtfully and carefully integrate Eastern concepts and techniques. Interventions that better integrate East-West concepts and techniques are acceptable, feasible, and effective.
