Enhanced Stress Resilience Training for Critical Care Nurses

"The ESRT intervention will consist of 1) five weekly one-hour sessions (in-person or virtual) led by a certified instructor; 2) smartphone-based exercises that bring informal practice into daily life; 3) videos on principles and concepts taught each week; and 4) meditation recordings of various lengths and styles supporting the prescribed daily practice of up to 20 min/day. Weekly didactic and experiential activities will cover mindfulness-based intervention concepts and skills, such as cultivating resilience, awareness of the body, managing thoughts, responding versus reacting, transforming circumstances, and advocacy through mindful communication. The ESRT smartphone app (Mindful Brian) houses all course materials (pre-class materials and post-class materials) and sends class reminders and messages. Considering nurses' shifts, ESRT will be offered in two separate sessions each week."
