20.500.12556/RUL-155940 Slovenian midwifery students and their self-estimation of mindfulness a cross-sectional study with modified MAAS Introduction: We investigate the level of mindfulness among midwifery students, as mindfulness can have a major impact on their perception of stress and can increase the quality of their work after graduation. Methods: A causal, non-experimental method of a cross-sectional study was used. We collected data using an online questionnaire that included a valid modified Mindful Attention Awareness Scale - MAAS. The sample consisted of Slovenian midwifery students in academic year 2022–2023. Results: Fifty-five Slovenian midwifery students (82% response rate) participated in the study. The average score of all midwifery students on the 5-Likert modified MAAS was 3.2, with the lowest average score among second-year students. Those students who practiced mindfulness techniques in their free time had higher average scores than those who did not. Conclusions: The average MAAS score of our midwifery students was lower than in other foreign studies among nursing students. The study program should promote student mindfulness. This would benefit the graduates also later, when employed, as investing in midwives' well-being improves both their job satisfaction and women's experience of care. The Slovenian curriculum is often perceived as overwhelming by students. This might be the reason for their low mindfulness scores. Further analysis of the curriculum is needed to find solutions on how to integrate mindfulness techniques into the undergraduate curriculum mindful awareness midwifey students stress management true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-04-24 14:49:47 2024-04-24 14:49:48 2024-04-25 04:14:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 6 str. art. 16 Vol. 8 Apr. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-04-01 618.2/.6-083:159.9 2585-2906 10.18332/ejm/185649 193761795 PAM-185649-109363.pdf PAM-185649-109363.pdf 1 760DC8066166D8C2F077A11EBDB7AC75 5b1b28430711690c9488202ba2e30aec327a2423bd999498e4a0d8405f434db0 742731a1-0239-11ef-a15b-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183077 https://www.europeanjournalofmidwifery.eu/Slovenian-midwifery-students-and-their-self-estimation-of-mindfulness-A-cross-sectional,185649,0,2.html 1 239b020e-0239-11ef-a15b-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183076 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
