Providing a Validated Mindfulness Training Intervention to Mitigate Secondary Traumatic Stress in Military Trauma Center Nurses and Other Healthcare Providers (Novice EBP Award)

The purpose of this Evidence Based Practice (EBP) Project guided by the Iowa Model is to evaluate the impact of implementing a 3-hour skills-based mindfulness course at a Military Treatment Facility Level III Trauma Center among nurses and other healthcare providers. The PICOT question is: For nurses and other healthcare providers in a Military Treatment Facility Level III Trauma Center, does a validated, 3-hour skills-based mindfulness course impact secondary traumatic stress at one week, one month, three months, and six months post-course, compared to pre-course baseline?
