520 |a Self-care is how nurses promote their own physical and mental health. Effective self-care is any strategy practiced on a regular basis to prevent stress and anxiety and to enhance the health and well-being. Self-care ranges from getting more rest to seeking professional help. Meditation practice is known to be an effective self-care strategy. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of meditation as a self-care strategy among Korean nurses. Two groups of nurses at the university hospital, one with meditation experience and the other without, were selected as study participants, and their depression and resilience were analyzed. The results of the study show that, first, depressive symptoms were more prevalent among the nurses in the non-meditative group (62.2%) than the ones in the meditative group (15.6%), and resilience positivity was higher in the meditative group (4.01 ± 0.44) than in non-meditative group (3.04 ± 0.41). Second, nurses with depressive symptoms demonstrated particularly low resilience in both groups, indicating that resilience is inversely associated with other metal disorders. Third, after one and a half years since the study, the turnover rate of the non-meditative group (17.8%) was twice that of meditative group (8.9%). As stated in the earlier self-care literature that stressed the benefits of meditation, this study confirms that consistent meditation experience on a regular basis has an effect on nurses’ well-being via lower depression and promotes higher psychological well-being via resilience. This study is expected to provide the data collected from the field, including personal narratives, to establish more effective self-care strategies in personal and professional settings.
