“…Notably, nurses’ awareness of self-care should increase, and mindfulness should be integrated into their daily work and life. 17 There have been many mindful self-care-related interventions, such as mindfulness workshops, 45 mindful self-compassion training 46 and mindfulness-based self-care and resiliency interventions, 47 but these interventions did not use mindful self-care as a valid outcome indicator. Some personalised and convenient interventions, such as digital health apps 48 and fragmented interventions, should be provided according to the special characteristics of the nurses.…”

“…Self-care is crucial because it facilitates the maintenance of one’s physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and social well-being. 17 Martínez et al 18 stated that self-care is the ability to care for oneself through awareness, self-control and self-reliance to achieve, maintain or promote optimal health and well-being. Self-care contains six domains: physical, professional, relational, emotional, psychological and spiritual.…”

BackgroundDespite the crucial role of mindfulness and self-care in nurses’ physical and mental health, as well as their professional well-being, most nurses exhibit low levels of self-care. Moreover, there is a lack of understanding of the diverse subgroups of mindful self-care among nurses.ObjectivesThe present study delved into the diverse groups of mindful self-care among nurses and investigated the correlation between these groups and their mental health.MethodsConvenience sampling was used to select nurses from Guizhou province, China, from August to September 2023. A total of 1020 nurses were investigated, and 1001 questionnaires were included, for an effective return rate of 98.1%. The demographic characteristics questionnaire, Chinese version of the Brief Mindful Self-Care Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 and Perceived Stress Scale were used. Latent profile analysis was performed on the characteristics of nurses’ mindful self-care, and the correlations between the latent profiles, demographic characteristics and mental well-being were identified using chi-square tests, Spearman correlation analyses and non-parametric tests.ResultsA total of 1001 nurses were included, and they were divided into four heterogeneous subgroups: the Inconsistent Mindful Self-Care Group (4.40%), Balanced Development Group (43.36%), Moderate Mindful Self-Care Group (39.36%), and High Mindful Self-Care Group (12.89%). Results of single factor analysis showed that the nurses’ department and average monthly income were the factors influencing the potential profiles. Mindful self-care negatively correlated with anxiety and depression but was not correlated with perceived stress. There were significant differences in perceived stress, anxiety and depression between different mindful self-care groups.ConclusionThe present study used latent profile analysis to identify four distinct subgroups of hospital nurses based on their mindful self-care and revealed varying levels of anxiety, depression and perceived stress between groups. These results emphasise the need for tailored mindful self-care strategies to promote nurses’ well-being.

College enrollment in the United States has continued to decrease since the pandemic. For colleges and universities, the students who are enrolling face unprecedented challenges, which many university leaders need help understanding and managing. The explorative nature of this study is to examine the traumatic environment of the pandemic on high school students, examining how this trauma has led to the suggested rampant arrested emotional development among said students. Arrested emotional development is attributed to rising cases of immaturity, anger, confusion, and suffering among high school students. Furthermore, the study will examine a connection between underdevelopment and the quality of students currently entering higher education. This investigation endeavors to understand the mindset of future university students and to help leaders of these institutions identify and serve future admits. This research methodology will be a principally qualitative approach consisting of primary information gathered from a culturally diverse sample of interviewed parents, teachers, administrators, and social workers based on their observations. Secondary information illustrates a broader and more global view of this problem. The evidence offered within this study explores an emerging issue that is currently under-researched, with the optimism of proposing opportunities for further exploration. Keywords: Arrested Emotional Development, Leadership, Management, Immaturity, Anger, Confusion, Suffering, High School, Higher Education
