An interventional study of Mindfulness Training and Alternative Educational Workshop in Mindfulness Training in Nursing Students, sponsored by Qom University of Medical Sciences. Completed at 1 site in Iran. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-26.

Brief Summary
This study aims to examine the effects of a six-week mindfulness training program on mindfulness, moral identity, and prosocial tendencies among undergraduate nursing students. Nursing students were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Students in the intervention group participated in six weekly mindfulness sessions, supplemented by guided audio materials and opportunities for daily practice. Students in the control group participated in an alternative educational workshop.
The study outcomes were assessed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a two-month follow-up. The study seeks to determine whether mindfulness training can improve nursing students' mindfulness, moral identity, and prosocial tendencies over time. The findings may help inform the development of educational approaches to support nursing students' personal and professional development.

Participants in this group received a six-week mindfulness training intervention consisting of six weekly 60-minute face-to-face sessions delivered by a health psychologist. The sessions were supplemented with guided audio materials and practice resources shared through a mobile messaging platform. Participants were encouraged to practice mindfulness for at least 10 minutes daily.
Behavioral: Mindfulness Training
Participants in the control group attended an alternative educational workshop instead of the mindfulness training program. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention period, and at the two-month follow-up.
Behavioral: Alternative Educational Workshop
A six-week mindfulness training program consisting of six weekly 60-minute face-to-face sessions delivered by a health psychologist. The sessions were supplemented with guided audio materials and practice resources shared through a mobile messaging platform. Participants were encouraged to practice mindfulness for at least 10 minutes daily.
Participants in the control group attended an alternative educational workshop during the study period. After completion of data collection, participants in the control group were given access to the mindfulness intervention materials, and participants in the intervention group were provided with the content of the alternative educational workshop.
Change in prosocial tendencies scores from baseline to post-intervention and two-month follow-up
Prosocial tendencies were measured using the 25-item Revised Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM-R). Items are rated on a five-point Likert scale, with item 5 reverse-scored. Total scores range from 25 to 125, with higher scores indicating greater prosocial tendencies. Changes in scores were evaluated by comparing the intervention and control groups across the three assessment time points.
Time frame: Baseline (before the intervention), immediately after the six-week intervention, and two months after the post-intervention assessment.
Change in mindfulness scores from baseline to post-intervention and two-month follow-up
Mindfulness was measured using the 15-item Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Total scores range from 15 to 90, with higher scores indicating greater mindfulness. Scores were compared between the intervention and control groups across the three assessment time points.
Time frame: Baseline (before the intervention), immediately after the six-week intervention, and two months after the post-intervention assessment.
Change in moral identity scores from baseline to post-intervention and two-month follow-up
Among participants in the intervention group, associations between homework adherence scores and changes in mindfulness, prosocial tendencies, and moral identity scores were examined using regression analyses. Homework adherence was assessed using a researcher-developed six-item questionnaire, with higher scores indicating greater engagement with the assigned mindfulness practices.
Time frame: Baseline (before the intervention), immediately after the six-week intervention, and two months after the post-intervention assessment.
Association between homework adherence and changes in mindfulness, prosocial tendencies, and moral identity
Homework adherence was assessed using a researcher-developed six-item questionnaire informed by previous literature on homework adherence. Higher scores indicated greater engagement with and completion of assigned mindfulness practices. Associations between homework adherence scores and changes in mindfulness, prosocial tendencies, and moral identity were examined among participants in the intervention group using regression analyses.
Time frame: Immediately after the six-week intervention and two months after the post-intervention assessment.
