Due to the nature of the events in war, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is more difficult to treat in veterans than in other people. Nowadays, using art-making methods such as mandala coloring has attracted the attention of researchers. This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 84 male veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Veterans were recruited by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 42) and a control group (n = 42). Participants in the intervention group colored a mandala, whereas the control group colored freely for 15 minutes 2 times a week for 3 weeks. All participants completed Brown and Ryan's Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). Mean baseline mindfulness scores were not significantly different between the mandala coloring group and the free coloring group (41.73 ± 5.29 vs 40.23 ± 4.59, P = .169). After the intervention, the mean mindfulness score was significantly higher in the mandala coloring group than in the free coloring group (52.23 ± 5.89 vs 46.04 ± 7.28, P < .001). Mean baseline PTSD scores were not significantly different between the mandala coloring group and the free coloring group (65.45 ± 5.89 vs 67.47 ± 4.66, P = .085). After the intervention, the mean PTSD score was significantly lower in the mandala coloring group than in the free coloring group (47.21 ± 5.77 vs 52.38 ± 5.52, P < .001). Both mandala coloring and free coloring increase mindfulness and decrease PTSD symptom severity. However, the mandala coloring method was more effective.

Although there is limited information on efficacy and safety of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), they are increasingly used by patients with cancer. We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of CAM use among a sample of Iranian cancer patients. In this cross-sectional study, conducted in an outpatient cancer clinic, patients with solid tumors or hematologic malignancies in different stages were asked to complete a questionnaire to measure CAM usage. A total of 131 patients with a median age of 58 years (18-86 years) participated in this study. CAM use was reported by 51.9% (n = 68) of the patients. Female gender and higher education level were significantly associated with the use of CAM (OR = 2.47, P value = .01 and OR = 2.55, P value = .02, respectively). Vitamins and minerals were the most frequently used CAM (n = 37, 54.4%). The main reasons for CAM use were to improve immune system and fight cancer (n = 48, 70.6%) followed by relieve side-effects from conventional cancer treatments (n = 26, 38.2%). Although three (4.4%) patients reported side-effects, most patients (n = 53, 77.9%) were satisfied with their CAM use. Among CAM users, 55 (80.9%) patients had reported their CAM use to physician. The CAM use is highly prevalent among adult cancer patients. Health care providers need to raise their awareness on probable disadvantages or benefits of CAMs and discuss these issues with patients.

Occupational stress in the work setting can lead to burnout. Health care workers are at a higher risk of experiencing stress and burnout. Mindfulness has gained momentum as a coping mechanism for stress and feelings of burnout, although it is unknown which mindfulness practices are the most effective for reducing feelings of occupational stress. The purpose of the qualitative portion of this mixed-methods study was to explore health care staff's perceptions of the characteristics of mindfulness interventions that were effective in reducing their stress and feelings of burnout. Health care staff consisting of nurses, State Tested Nursing Aides, housekeeping staff, culinary staff, activities staff, social workers, and chaplain staff (N = 48) in a senior care and rehabilitation setting in a Midwestern city were invited to attend a semi-structured focus group, post-intervention. Thematic analysis was used to identify 3 main themes: ease of use promotes effective implementation, positive impact of mindfulness on self and others, and home- and work-related factors affect implementation. Overall, participants perceived benefit from various mindfulness practices for reducing their feelings of stress and burnout in the workplace. Guidance, ease of use of the mindfulness practice, and addressing barriers such as time and location can help with implementation.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of self-acupressure on sleep quality and fatigue in nurses working in medical clinics. A total of 64 nurses (n = 32 acupressure, n = 32 sham acupressure) participated in this prospective, 2-arm (1:1) study with an experimental design. In the study, both groups used the pressure points they were taught while performing self-acupressure 3 times per week for 4 weeks. After the intervention, the total mean score average of the acupressure group on the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index and Fatigue Severity Scale was significantly lower than that of the sham acupressure group (P < .05). Self-acupressure is a noninvasive, easy-to-use, safe, and efficient complementary and integrated technique that nurses can use to improve their sleep quality and manage fatigue.

The physical and psychological health management of nurses is very important not only for individual nurses but also for organizations and patients. However, nurses are exposed to high stress, sleep problems, and high presenteeism. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of auricular acupressure (AA) on nurses' stress, sleep problems, and presenteeism. This randomized controlled trial encompassed 60 nurses divided into an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Auricular acupressure using AA stickers with small magnets attached was performed in the experimental group, and a placebo AA using simple AA stickers (without the small magnets) was performed in the control group. The treatment lasted 7 weeks. To confirm the results, stress, sleep quality, and presenteeism were measured at pre- and posttest. There was a statistically significant difference in scores for sleep quality (t = -1.98, P = .047), health problems (z = -2.38, P = .017), and work impairment (t = -4.46, P < .001) between the experimental and control groups at posttest. Auricular acupressure increased sleep quality scores and decreased presenteeism. Auricular acupressure using AA stickers with small magnets attached was effective in improving sleep quality and reducing presenteeism in nurses.
护士的身心健康管理不仅对护士个人非常重要,而且对组织和患者也非常重要。然而,护士面临着高压力、睡眠问题和高缺勤率。因此,本研究旨在探讨耳穴按摩(AA)对护士压力、睡眠问题和旷工的影响。这项随机对照试验包括 60 名护士,分为实验组(30 人)和对照组(30 人)。实验组使用贴有小磁铁的 AA 贴进行耳穴穴位按摩,对照组使用简单的 AA 贴(没有小磁铁)进行安慰剂 AA。治疗持续了 7 周。为了确认结果,在测试前和测试后对压力、睡眠质量和出席率进行了测量。在睡眠质量(t =-1.98,P =0.047)、健康问题(z =-2.38,P =0.017)和工作障碍(t =-4.46,P =0.017)方面的得分差异有统计学意义。

With Chapman's Radical Loving Care as a framework, this article shares practical wisdom and habits that occur daily in a busy community hospital to help all nurse leaders to develop a holistic view to shape their vision and embed radical loving care in their connections. The application of Chapman's concepts to the mentoring of others is viewed as a form of love and helps to strengthen not only the mentee, but the entire system of nurses caring for each other. Radical loving care is seen as a far reaching, progressive and humanistic strategy to show a deep, abiding kindness and caring to other human beings in the world of health care.

The study aims to evaluate the effect of yoga on the premenstrual syndrome, perceived stress level and the quality of life. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial at a university in Turkey. A yoga group = 39, a control group = 41, total of n = 80 female students participated in the study. In the study, firstly, the preview was made, then the yoga group was applied two days a week for eight weeks, the second follow-up was made after the application, and lastly, the last follow-up was made in the 24th week. Four questionnaire surveys were applied on students. When the yoga group compared with the control group in terms of premenstrual syndrome, the quality of life and perceived stress level in the 2nd follow-up, a statistically significant decrease was found in the mean between the menstrual and premenstrual period, and the quality of life increases in the yoga group compared to the control group students. Practicing yoga in university students with premenstrual syndrome reduced premenstrual symptoms and raised quality of life. Yoga can be recommended to girls with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to reduce PMS and improve quality of life.

This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effects of yoga on coping with stress in adolescents. The study was conducted in the Famagusta province of Northern Cyprus between September and November 2021. The sample of the study comprised 62 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 16 years, including 30 in the intervention and 32 in the control groups. The descriptive information form, the child and resilience measure (CYRM), and the Kidcope were used for data collection. The intervention group received a 10-week yoga program of 60 minutes twice a week. Pre- and posttest scores were calculated to measure the impact of yoga on resilience and coping with stress. There was a statistically significant difference between the pre- and posttest scores of the yoga intervention group (P < .05). Besides, there was a statistically significant difference between the scores obtained by the intervention and control groups from the CYRM and the subscales of the Kidcope (P < .05). These findings imply that yoga contributes to resilience and coping with stress in adolescents. Based on the findings, we suggest that psychiatric nurses may incorporate yoga to protect the mental health of adolescents.
