“…Mindfulness provides an excellent way to cope with these constant changes, helping us sit alongside COVID-19 anxiety and pay attention to the fact that this stage of life will also pass (Sun et al, 2021). There was a correlation between mindfulness and other forms of psychological hardiness in this study, which is consistent with the results of previous studies (Czerwinski, et al, 2021;Kowalski & Schermer, 2019). When people face difficult and stressful emotional and physical situations, they become more mindful by not evaluating the experiences.…”

Objective: Some stressors, such as COVID-19, can cause anxiety and health concerns. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between hardiness and stress of COVID-19 by mediating the role of mindfulness in Iranian students. Methods: We conducted cross-sectional research for this study. Data were gathered from the student populations of 2020-2021, which comprised the statistical population. A convenience sampling method was used to select the participants based on the information obtained from online self-report tools. Students from Iranian universities were asked to participate in an online survey using Internet advertisements, e-mails, forums, social networks, and short message services. Participants were 414 university students. All respondents completed the mindful attention awareness scale, the COVID-19 stress scale, and the personal views survey. We carried out an analysis of the data based on independent t-tests, Pearson correlations, as well as regression tests. Results: It was found that there was a significant correlation between all variables and COVID-19 stress levels. It is worth noting that most of these correlations were in a moderate range. Structural equation modeling showed the overall effects of hardiness on the stress of COVID-19 (β=-0.536, P=0.001), the indirect effects (β=-0.177, P=0.002), and the direct effects of hardiness on the stress of COVID-19 (β=-0.365, P=0.009) were significant. Conclusion: Considering these findings, we have clarified the role of mindfulness in affecting the hardiness and stress of COVID-19 among Iranian students. This study recommends implementing virtual and electronic mindfulness training workshops to reduce the stress associated with COVID-19 and increase psychological hardiness using these tools.

“…This is contrary to findings from another study which showed that teachers’ stress levels lowered and trait mindfulness improved after coloring mindfully for 5 working days. [ 18 ] This may be due to the fact that teachers from the other study colored for 5 consecutive days while nurses in our study colored less regularly due to their irregular work shifts. Our results suggest that nurses may need more mindful practices to develop mindfulness as a habit.…”

“…[ 17 ] A previous study on teachers, another high-stress profession, has also shown that mindful coloring for 5 days enhances trait mindfulness, reduces stress, and burnout. [ 18 ] Other advantages of mindful coloring include easy accessibility and dissemination, low cost, and individual flexibility in where (workplace or in self-isolation settings) and when it is done. However, the effects of brief daily mindful coloring on the nursing population have not been examined.…”

Background: Effective interventions to promote well-being at work are required to reduce the prevalence and consequences of stress and burnout especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study determined the effects of mindful coloring on perceived stress levels, mental well-being, burnout, and state and trait mindfulness levels for nurses during COVID-19.Methods: This was a single-center, two-armed, parallel, superiority, blinded randomized controlled trial. Seventy-seven participants were randomly allocated (by computer-generated sequence) to either mindful coloring (n = 39) or waitlist control groups (n = 38). Twenty-seven nurses in the mindful coloring group and 32 in the control group were included in the full compliance per protocol analysis. The mindful coloring intervention included participants viewing a 3-minutes instructional video and coloring mandalas for at least 5 working days or 100 minutes in total during a 10-day period. Participants in both groups completed the Perceived Stress Scale (total score 0-40), short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (total score 7-35), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (3 subscales), Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form (total score 24-120) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-State version (total score 0-30) instruments. The primary outcome was the perceived stress level.Results: Baseline prevalence of moderate to high perceived stress level was high (79.2%). There was a large mindful coloring effect on reducing mean perceived stress levels (Mean difference [MD] in change between groups −3.0, 95% CI: −5.0 to −1.00; Cohen's d = 0.80). Mindful coloring may lead to a small improvement in mental well-being level (P = .08), with an improvement found in the intervention group (MD 0.9, 95% CI 0.0-1.8, P = .04) through enhanced state mindfulness (P < .001). There were no effects on changing burnout subscales or trait mindfulness levels. No adverse reactions were reported. Conclusion:Coloring mandalas may be an effective low-cost brief intervention to reduce perceived stress levels through enhancing state mindfulness and it may promote mental well-being. Hospitals may promote or provide mindful coloring as a selfcare and stress-relief practice for nurses during their off hours or work breaks.

“…As a kind of emotional reaction, it must be related to the teacher’s own metacognition. Mindfulness has been shown to improve happiness ( Hwang et al, 2017 ; Czerwinski et al, 2020 ; Tarrasch et al, 2020 ) and job satisfaction ( Hülsheger et al, 2013 ; Andrews et al, 2014 ; Vinothkumar et al, 2016 ). However, few studies have investigated the relationship between preschool teachers trait mindfulness and job satisfaction.…”

Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between basic psychological needs and positive emotions of preschool teachers between trait mindfulness and job satisfaction.Methods: Three hundred and ninety-eight preschool teachers were tested with mindfulness attention awareness scale, basic psychological needs scale, positive emotion scale, and job satisfaction scale.Results: Preschool teachers trait mindfulness can predict job satisfaction (β = 0.265, p < 0. 001). Preschool teachers trait mindfulness has an indirect impact on job satisfaction through basic psychological needs (β = 0.059, p = 0.002), and preschool teachers trait mindfulness has an indirect impact on job satisfaction through positive emotions (β = 0.123, p < 0. 001). In addition, basic psychological needs and positive emotions play a sequential intermediary role between preschool teachers trait mindfulness and job satisfaction (β = 0.017, p < 0. 001).Conclusion: Basic psychological needs and positive emotions play a sequential mediating role between preschool teachers trait mindfulness and job satisfaction, and this sequential mediating effect accounts for a high proportion of the total effect.
