Abstract Background: Nursing is considered a stressful profession, so nurses are at higher risk of physical and mental illness. Mindfulness is an important concept for nursing with practical implications for nurse well-being, development, and quality nursing care sustainability.Objectives: This study identified mindfulness sessions' effect on nurses' chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS) and job satisfaction )JS.(Methods: A randomized clinical trial design was conducted on 80 nurses to intervention and control groups. The intervention in the intervention group was eight mindfulness sessions training, and the control group had no intervention. Nurses' CFS and JS were assessed using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory.Results: After implementing a mindfulness-based stress reduction program, the intervention group nurses reported lower CFS and higher JS than the control group(p<0.005). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate the effectiveness of mindfulness programs on improving nurses' chronic fatigue and JS. Since CFS and job dissatisfaction are two disturbing elements for nurses' optimal performance in professional and personal life, this study can recommend the implementation of mindfulness exercises as a routine, operational and uncomplicated program in nurses.

In a nutshellVarious nutrition links have been proposed for CFS. The most likely to have some validity are an imbalance of LCPFA, or of amino acids and the neurotransmitters synthesised from them. There may be some antioxidant stress involved as well.Unfortunately, the body of clinical trial evidence does not add up to any firm conclusion, despite the popularity of nutritional treatments amongst CFS patients.
