Abstract

This study implemented an innovative new model of delivering a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that replaces six of the eight traditional in-person sessions with group telephonic sessions (tMBSR) and measured the program's impact on the health and well-being of nurses employed within a large health care organization. As part of a nonrandomized pre-post intervention study, 36 nurses completed measures of health, stress, burnout, self-compassion, serenity, and empathy at three points in time. Between baseline (Time 1) and the end of the 8-week tMBSR intervention (Time 2), participants showed improvement in general health, t(37) = 2.8, p < .01, decreased stress, t(37) = 6.8, p < .001, decreased work burnout, t(37) = 4.0, p < .001, and improvement in several other areas. Improvements were sustained 4 months later (Time 3), and individuals who continued their MBSR practice after the program demonstrated better outcomes than those that did not. Findings suggest that the tMBSR program can be a low cost, feasible, and scalable intervention that shows positive impact on health and well-being, and could allow MBSR to be delivered to employees who are otherwise unable to access traditional, on-site programs.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The observed pre-post changes are attributable to the tMBSR program rather than to other factors or secular trends.

    “The study was designed as a nonrandomized pre–post intervention study”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The findings from this sample of corporate nurses can generalize to other employees who cannot access traditional on-site MBSR.

    “could allow MBSR to be delivered to employees who are otherwise unable to access traditional, on-site programs.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Continued MBSR practice after the program is responsible for better outcomes, rather than self-selection or other differences.

    “individuals who continued their MBSR practice after the program demonstrated better outcomes than those that did not.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The telephonic delivery format preserves the essential active components of traditional in-person MBSR.

    “replaces six of the eight traditional in-person sessions with group telephonic sessions (tMBSR)”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The observed improvements in health and well-being are attributable to the tMBSR intervention rather than to other factors such as regression to the mean or external influences.

    “we cannot rule out that the differences observed in the intervention group are a result of regression to the mean, or due to other influences impacting the nurses outside of the tMBSR intervention.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The self-report measures used accurately reflect the nurses' actual health and well-being.

    “the reliance on self-report data that may be subject to respondent bias”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The sample of self-selected female nurses is representative enough to generalize the findings to other nurses and non-nurse employees.

    “The positive results realized in this small, pilot study demonstrate that tMBSR may be a desirable, effective, scalable, and affordable intervention to reduce stress and burnout of nurses and other non-nurse employees.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The comparison between nurses who maintained MBSR practice and those who did not is not confounded by pre-existing differences between the groups.

    “there were several significant differences in Time 3 outcomes between the women who reported at Time 3 that they had maintained their MBSR practice after the program ended (the 4 months between Time 2 and 3), and those who did not.”

Statistics recomputed

Every reported test result, recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom. A result shows as not adding up only once an independent check has confirmed it.

  • Consistentt(37) = 2.8reported p < .01 · recomputed p = .008

    “t(37) = 2.8, p < .01”

  • Consistentt(37) = 6.8reported p < .001 · recomputed p < .001

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
