 Amaç: Bu araştırmada, pandemi sürecinde çalışan hemşirelere akran desteği yöntemi ile uygulanan mesleki ve MBSR Akran Desteği Programının yaşanan kaygı, tükenmişlik ve bilinçli farkındalık üzerine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Açımlayıcı Sıralı Karma Desende yürütülen araştırmanın evrenini bir hastanede çalışan 580 hemşire, nicel aşamasının örneklemini 195 hemşire, nitel aşamasının örneklemini ise akran desteği veren 15 hemşire ve akran desteği alan 49 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Veriler niceliksel ve niteliksel yöntemlerle toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Akran desteği alan hemşirelerin durumluk kaygı, sürekli kaygı ve tükenmişlik son test puan ortalamalarının ön test puan ortalamalarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düştüğü görülürken, bilinçli farkındalık son test puanının arttığı görülmüştür p0,005. Nitel analizler sonucunda üç ana tema ve altı alt tema belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Pandemi sürecinde görev yapan hemşirelere uygulanan MBSR Akran Desteği Programının hemşirelerin yaşadığı kaygı ve tükenmişlik düzeylerini azaltırken, bilinçli farkındalık düzeyini arttırdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
