“…Equally, mindfulness in these professionals is an effective strategy for prevention and management of anxiety, stress and exhaustion [10][11][12][13].

Background: The work of health professionals is characterized by a high demand for psychological and emotional resources and high levels of stress. Therefore, the promotion of commitment and job well-being through strategies such as increased mindfulness, is important among nursing workers. Although mindfulness has shown positive effects in the health field, few studies have explored the mechanisms and processes underlying these results. We investigated the mediating role of empathy (cognitive/affective) in the effect of mindfulness on the dimensions of engagement in nursing professionals. Methods: Sample was comprised of 1268 Spanish nurses between 22 and 62 years old, that completed the Utrecht Labor Engagement Scale and the adapted versions of Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and Basic Empathy Scale. The relationship between variables to be included in the regression analyses, bivariate correlations were carried out, and the descriptive statistics of these variables were also found. To estimate the mediation model was used, in this case for multiple mediation effects. Results: Mindfulness is found to affect the Vigor and Dedication factors of engagement through cognitive empathy. While for the Absorption factor, the affective component of empathy also exerts a mediating role, although weaker than cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy, as an individual factor, was shown to have a mediating effect between mindfulness and the factors of engagement in healthcare workers.

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between depression, anxiety, cognitive distortions, and psychological well‐being among nursing students. Design and Methods This descriptive, correlational, cross‐sectional study was conducted with 330 nursing students. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS), and the Psychological Well‐being Scale (PWBS). Findings The PWBS negatively correlated with the BDI, BAI, and CDS (P < .05). Preoccupation with danger was the strongest predictor, followed by hopelessness, self‐blame, total CDS and BDI (P < .05). Practice Implications Nursing students should be evaluated for psychological well‐being to prevent psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

“…Another study determined mindfulness as an alternative method in managing anxiety. The study found that there is a definite benefit when students engage in mindfulness meditation programs while having some issues counteracting anxiety, depression, burnout and other related problems that may interfere with their studies (van der Riet et al, 2018).…”
