Breathing meditation training improved sustained attention, mindfulness awareness, and mental state while reducing fatigue and work stress among operating room nurses. In a randomized trial with 40 nurses, those who added breathing meditation to routine training showed faster sustained attention response times at 8:00 and 18:00, lower physical and mental fatigue scores, higher mindfulness attention awareness scores, lower anxiety and depression scores, lower work stress, and higher career satisfaction and happiness compared to the control group.
