Abstract
Objective To explore the mediating effect of the regulatory emotional self-efficacy between mindfulness and the level of anxiety in nurses. Methods A total of 1 124 clinical nurses were measured with five facet mindfulness questionaire(FFMQ), regulatory emotional self-efficacy scale(RES), and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS). Results The scores of mindfulness, regulatory emotional self-efficacy and anxiety were (118.75±10.70), (42.29±6.40) and (45.93±10.00) respectively.Mindfulness was positively correlated with the regulatory emotional self-efficacy(r=0.351, P<0.01)while negatively correlated with nurses’ anxiety(r=-0.249, P<0.01). The regulatory emotional self-efficacy was negatively correlated with nurses’ anxiety(r=-0.264, P<0.01). The regulatory emotional self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between mindfulness and nurses’ anxiety, which could explain 28.2% of the total effect. Conclusion The regulatory emotional self-efficacy is a partial mediator between mindfulness and nurses’ anxiety. Key words: Mindfulness; Anxiety; Regulatory emotional self-efficacy
