Nurses were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups.

Baseline perceived stress and fatigue scores were similar between groups. At post\u2010test, the intervention group had significantly lower perceived stress scores than the control group (25.50\u2009\u00b1\u20094.22 vs. 30.90\u2009\u00b1\u20097.50,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.008) and significantly lower fatigue severity scores (3.06\u2009\u00b1\u20090.65 vs. 3.99\u2009\u00b1\u20090.77,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n A brief online meditation programme may be a feasible supportive intervention for reducing stress and fatigue among intensive care nurses; however, larger multi\u2010centre trials are needed to confirm these findings.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n Remotely delivered meditation may offer an accessible and low\u2010cost adjunct to staff well\u2010being initiatives in intensive care settings, particularly for nurses working rotating shifts, but it should complement rather than replace organisational approaches to workforce well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.70613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T09:30:27Z","timestamp":1785403827000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of an Online Meditation Programme on Stress and Fatigue in Critical Care Nurses: A Randomised Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2814-5378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Song\u00fcl","family":"G\u00fcng\u00f6r","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Osmaniye Korkut Ata University Osmaniye T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8497-0105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Derya","family":"Atik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Osmaniye Korkut Ata University Osmaniye T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","volume-title":"The Future of Nursing 2020\u20132030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity","author":"Flaubert J.
