Mobile Mindfulness for Psychological Distress and Burnout among Frontline COVID-19 Nurses: A Pilot Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic exacerbated psychological distress and burnout in frontline healthcare workers. Interventions addressing psychological distress and burnout among these workers are lacking. Objectives: To determine the feasibility and explore the impact of mobile mindfulness to treat psychological distress and burnout among nurses in frontline COVID-19 units. Methods: We conducted a pilot randomized trial of 102 nurses working in COVID-19 units at a single hospital between May 2021 and January 2022. Participants were randomized to mobile mindfulness (intervention) or waiting list (control). The primary outcome was feasibility, assessed by comparing rates of randomization, retention, and intervention completion to predefined targets
