What this trial studies
This interventional program is embedded within existing nurse residency training and runs for five months. It focuses on mindfulness, recovery strategies, emotional agility, self-compassion, mental health literacy, empowerment, and mindful self-care. The study will measure changes in psychological well-being and occupational readiness among participants in the AdventHealth system. It targets English-speaking nurse residents in acute care settings who can consent and comply with the study requirements. No comparator or randomization is described in the available information.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could enhance resilience and readiness among nurse residents, potentially reducing burnout.
How similar studies have gone: There is limited public information on similar PREP-style programs; this appears to be a novel approach within this setting.
