The data will be collected four seven times, including baseline (T0), the end of the course (T1), before and after the nursing practicum (T2, T3).

Participants who enroll in an elective course in mindfulness education constitute the experimental group, while those who do not enroll in the elective form the comparison group. The total number of participants will be 240. Participants will be excluded if they are unwilling to participate in the study or do not complete the consent form.
