Nursing students' trait mindfulness and psychological stress: A correlation and mediation analysis

Abstract

Background: Nursing students face a great amount of psychological stress during their nursing education. Mindfulness-based training has received increased recognition from nurse educators regarding its effect on reducing students' psychological stress. Study evidence has supported that cultivation of trait mindfulness through Mindfulness-based training was the key to this effect. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on intricate relationships between various facets of trait mindfulness and psychological stress. Objective: Examining the relationships between various trait mindfulness facets and psychological stress Design: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data on trait mindfulness facets and psychological stress. Participants: A convenience sample of 99 undergraduate nursing students from a Bachelor of Nursing program completed this study. Setting: This study was conducted in a university in the southeastern United States. Method: Participants completed an online questionnaire, which collected their demographic information, trait mindfulness (the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire), and psychological stress (the Perceived Stress Scale-10). Correlation and mediation analyses were applied. Results: Other than the trait mindfulness facet of observing, the remaining three facets (acting with awareness, non-judging, and non-reactivity) were negatively correlated with psychological stress. Observing had little to low correlations with non-judging and acting with awareness, but attained a moderately positive correlation with non-reactivity. Moreover, observing could indirectly predict psychological stress, when non-reactivity served as a mediator. Finally, non

Mindfulness, emotional intelligence and occupational burnout in intensive care nurses: A mediating effect model

“…The present study indicated that mindfulness is associated with occupational burnout in three dimensions, which are emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Lu et al observed that mindfulness is correlated with psychological stress in nursing students, corroborating this study (Lu et al., 2019). Based on proved correlation, further analysis of the mediating effect proved that mindfulness can directly negatively affect emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.…”

Moderating Effect of Mindfulness on the Influence of Stress on Depression According to the Level of Stress among University Students in South Korea

“…Consistent results were found in many previous studies. Mindfulness was negatively correlated with stress in studies of nursing students in Korea [ 52 ] and the United States [ 53 ]. In a study of university students in Malaysia, mindfulness was reported to be negatively correlated with stress; it reduced stress and acted as a mediator between negative mental health outcomes [ 32 ].…”

Tinnitus perception mediates the relationship between physiological and psychological problems among patients

“…Rather than a causal relationship directly associated between HL (IV) and PP (DV), the mediation model proposes that the IV (HL) affects the intervening or intermediary variable (THI), which in turn, affect the DV (PP) (Bellavia, James-Todd, & Williams, 2019). Therefore, the intermediary variable (THI) clarifies the nature of the relationship between the proposed model’s IV (HL) and DV (PP) (Lu et al, 2019). The mediation model helps researchers obtain a clearer understanding of the relationship between the selected IV (HL) and DV (PP) (Abbas, Aman, Nurunnabi, & Bano, 2019; Abbas, Aqeel, et al, 2019; Abbas, Aqeel, Wenhong, Aman, & Zahra, 2018; Abbas, Raza, Nurunnabi, Minai, & Bano, 2019).…”
