A cross-sectional design will be used for the first stage of the study. A pre-post- intervention study will be utilized for the second stage of the study. A convenience sample of 361 nurses from six governmental hospitals of the Ministry of Health will be enrolled for the first stage of the study. A minimum of (50) participants, from the hospital with the highest level of compassion fatigue will be included in the intervention stage of the study. An integrated guided mindfulness intervention will be implemented, which will include a 2-day face-to-face workshop and self-practice activities.
The Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL), version 5 (Stamm, 2010), which measures compassion fatigue, will be used in addition to the participants demographic and work-related contributing factors.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Compassion Fatigue
The compassion fatigue level will be measured using The Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale, version 5. The ProQOL is a 5-point Likert well-known scale (1= never, 5= very often) that utilized globally to assess the compassion fatigue (Babaei \& Haratian, 2020; Hooper et al., 2010). The instrument consists of three subscales, which are compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. The scale is constructed of 30-items; where 10 items measuring each subscale (i.e. compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress). The response of instruments' items are based on the respondent's opinions and feelings for the last 30 days (Babaei \& Haratian, 2020). The cut-scores are set around the 25th and 75th percentiles. The instrument demonstrated a good construct validity as well as good internal consistency of reliability for each subscale with Cronbach alphas of 0.87, 0.72, and 0.80, respectively (Hooper et al., 2010).
Measured: From enrollment to the end of Mindfulness-self practices at 4 weeks
Compassion Satisfaction
Compassion satisfaction level will be measured by The Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale, version 5. The instrument consists of three subscales, which are compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

Measured: From enrollment to the end of mindfulness-self practice sessions at 4 weeks
