Conclusion
Although burnout among nurses has gained increasing attention in the nursing field, studies on the management of this occupational syndrome remain lacking. More international and cross-disciplinary cooperation is required to foster development in this field because the majority of the high-contributing institutions and authors were from high-income nations.
Mindfulness meditation has the potential to decrease stress and burnout in nurses by decreasing self-judgment and overidentification with experience, and by increasing resiliency, compassion, and emotional regulation.
Our study not only provides a thorough outline to assist researchers in understanding the leading countries, institutions, journals, and potential collaborators, but it also examines the current and upcoming trends in this field and inspires researchers to select research directions.
