“…Nonetheless, and by way of example, there is growing recognition that mindfulnessbased interventions could play a determining role in addressing some of these factors among university students [32]. A randomized controlled trial showed that mindfulness training could improve problem-focused coping among Norwegian psychology and medical students [33].…”

Background: Research on the mental health of students in health disciplines mainly focuses on psychological distress and nursing and medical students. This study aimed to investigate the psychological well-being and distress and related factors among undergraduate students training in eight different health-related tracks in Geneva, Switzerland. Methods: This cross-sectional study used established self-filled scales for anxiety, depression, stress, psychological well-being, and study satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analyses were applied. Results: In October 2019, out of 2835 invited students, 915 (32%) completed the survey. Lower academic satisfaction scores were strongly associated with depression (β = −0.26, p < 0.001), anxiety (β = −0.27, p < 0.001), and stress (β = −0.70, p < 0.001), while higher scores were associated with psychological well-being (β = 0.70, p < 0.001). Being female was strongly associated with anxiety and stress but not with depression or psychological well-being. Increased age was associated with enhanced psychological well-being. The nature of the academic training had a lesser impact on mental health and the academic year had none. Conclusion: Academic satisfaction strongly predicts depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological well-being. Training institutions should address the underlying factors that can improve students’ satisfaction with their studies while ensuring that they have access to psychosocial services that help them cope with mental distress and enhance their psychological well-being.

“…High levels of stress have been generally perceived by students, which have partly been attributed to interpersonal interaction pressure, life pressure, poverty, violence, especially academic pressure in school settings [1]. Incorporating schooling into one's daily life might be another source of stress, impairing academic performance and quality of life [2].…”

“…Moreover, students' well-being has become a worldwide concern because they have been at risk of anxiety, loneliness, and stress [3]. Therefore, the above pressure perceived by students has significant negative impacts on students' mental health, even leading to psychological disorders and poor academic performance [1]. Mindfulness mediation has been applied to improve well-being and mental health to improve students' health status and academic performance.…”

School settings had been full of stressors that negatively influence students' mental health and academic performance. For solving students' academic performance issues, mindfulness mediation had been used to improve their academic outcomes. This study had applied the information process theory to demonstrate the internal mechanism between mindfulness mediation and academic performance in three pathways with three major sections: cognitive process (students' academic performance could be enhanced by improving attention on learning), information storage (by improving their working memory through mindfulness meditation), and executive cognition (by improving students' overall executive function). This study had benefited from the summary of the mechanism of mindfulness meditation and academic performance, promoting the development of mindfulness meditation-related activities and applications, and improving students' participation in mindfulness meditation interventions, thereby improving their academic performance.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between mindfulness and mental health of graduate students and the mediating effects of sense of purpose in life on mindfulness and mental health. The participants include 419 graduate students from 6 universities in China, and there are 190 males and 229 females. The Hayes Process is adopted to analyze the effects of the sense of purpose in life on mindfulness and mental health of graduate students. The results reveal that mindfulness can effect the mental health of graduate students positively and significantly. The sense of purpose in life is found to mediate the relationship between mindfulness and mental health. In further moderated mediation analyses, the effect of mindfulness on mental health can be adjusted by family economic condition. The type of degree can adjust the effect of mindfulness on sense of purpose, and academic Interest can adjust the mediating effect of sense of purpose. Finally, this study discusses several empirical and methodological implications of the findings.
