This paper describes the protocol for WellNurse, a longitudinal cohort study examining evidence-based wellness interventions—including mindfulness, fitness training, massage therapy, and wearable technology—intended to reduce burnout and increase resilience among graduate and undergraduate nursing students. Data collection began in March 2022 with 267 participants recruited.
WellNurse is a longitudinal cohort study protocol designed to evaluate multiple resilience-building and stress-reducing interventions among nursing students. Participants complete a battery of validated health measurements twice each semester during the fourth week and the week before final examinations, including the Perceived Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, Brief Resilience Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Interventions include mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindful eating, fitness training, and massage therapy, alongside environmental changes such as evidence-based holistic admissions, inclusive teaching design, and targeted resilience workshops. The project was funded on January 1, 2022, with 267 participants recruited and data collection starting in March 2022. The study follows the Rapid Cycle Quality Improvement framework to continuously monitor processes and intervention effectiveness.
