Mindfulness is defined as a mental state achieved through focusing one's awareness in the present moment and maintaining awareness of thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and the environment. Because nursing care often involves some degree of interruption and distraction, an effort toward improving nursing students' attention is especially important. Offering practice in the simulation lab to mitigate distractions that may occur during patient care can improve patient safety. Adding a component of mindfulness in the simulation experience helps increase situational awareness among prelicensure nursing students. The intent of a brief 1-minute prebriefing mindfulness, facilitator-led activity is to embark upon the simulation experience with learners focused on their actions. A mindfulness example includes taking 3 deep cleansing breathes, while breathing in take a quick body scan to identify any sensations of discomfort or tension, and pause for 6 seconds to identify current emotions. An added benefit of introducing students to the practice of mindfulness and giving them resources has the potential to go beyond the simulation experience. Students have commented that using the principles of mindfulness, as taught in the simulation laboratory, has helped with examination performance and anxiety levels. Simulation presents an opportunity to encourage the continued practice of mindfulness as a life skill in nursing students' personal and professional lives. Using mindfulness during simulation may lead to healthier practice habits as nursing students transition into practice settings.
