Introduction: This research was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of mindfulness training on caregiving stress and compassion fatigue in caregivers of heart transplant candidates.
Methodology: The research method is semi-experimental and its design is pre-test-post-test with a control group and a 45-day follow-up phase. The statistical population included all male and female nurses in the heart transplant department of Shahid Chamran Hospital in Isfahan and Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran in 2020. For this purpose, 30 nurses working in the heart transplant department were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received caregiver-centered mindfulness interventions based on the Rozak package (2015) during 8 45-minute sessions and one session per week for 2 months. Meanwhile, the control group did not receive any intervention during the study. The measurement tools included the care pressure questionnaire (Novak and Guest, 1989) and the work quality questionnaire (Figley, 1990). Analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used to analyze the data.
Findings: The results indicate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on caregiving pressure and compassion fatigue in the post-test phase (p<0.05) and the effects of training in the follow-up phase (p<0.05) remained.
Conclusion: Based on the findings obtained from the present study, it can be concluded that mindfulness training can be used as an intervention method to reduce caregiving pressure and compassion fatigue in caregivers of heart transplant candidates.
Keywords: mindfulness training, caregiving pressure, compassion fatigue, caregiver, heart transplant.
