Abstract
Nurse educators experience high levels of stress and burnout, contributing to poor retention and threatening the quality of nursing education. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project implemented a 12-week resilience-building intervention that included mindfulness meditation, breathwork, and yoga for nurse educators at a public university in the southeastern United States. The RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework guided the project and evaluated changes in resilience, burnout, and job satisfaction using validated instruments. Results indicated that integrated mind-body interventions could reduce burnout and enhance resilience and job satisfaction among nurse educators. The project aligns with Healthy People 2030 and the Quadruple Aim, supporting educator well-being and advancing the sustainability of nursing education programs.
