What this trial studies

This interventional study offers a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program to nursing students experiencing elevated stress. Participants are assigned to either the MBSR group or a lifestyle management and well-being workshop comparator to see which approach better supports mood, stress, and overall well-being. The program includes mindfulness practices such as breath awareness, body scan, walking meditation, and gentle yoga delivered by a trained facilitator. Outcomes focus on changes in stress levels, mood symptoms, and quality of life, using pre- and post-intervention assessments. The study is conducted at Istanbul Medeniyet University with voluntary participation and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
