Abstract:
Mindfulness has many benefits, but its mechanisms of action are not universally understood. This analysis explores mindfulness and informs a model for its practical applications in health care and professional development. A mindful nursing professional development practitioner can use metacognitive thought processes to enhance interpersonal connections and create better learning environments to facilitate practice change. The literature supports the testing of this model in nursing professional development.
