Results: The results of this study showed that the mean scores of job stress before the intervention was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups (p <0.05) , but after the intervention the difference was significant (p <0.05). Furthermore, about 55% of the changes in post-test scores of job stress was related to the effect of mindfulness-based stress relief. This finding indicates that the implementation of mindfulness-based stress training program has been effective in reducing nurses' job stress.
