Objective To study the level of mindfulness,mental toughness and clinical practice of nursing internship, to analyze the relationship between the level of mindfulness and mental toughness and clinical practice, to further improve the level and ability of nursing internship in clinical practice. Methods A total of 298 nursing internship in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2016 were included in the study. The level of mindfulness, resilience and clinical practice ability of all nursing internship were examined. The level of mindfulness, resilience and clinical practice ability of nursing students were analyzed. The relationship between mindfulness level, resilience and clinical practice ability of nursing students in our hospital were observed. Results The score of male nursing internshipin observation and description dimensions were 3.36±0.45, 3.52±0.43, significantly higher than female nursing internship 3.02±0.41, 3.19±0.38, the difference was statistically significant (t=6.815, 7.028, P<0.05). The scores of male nursing internship in individual ability, social ability, planning style, social resources and family cohesion dimensions were 4.82±0.36, 5.09±0.46, 4.06±0.42, 4.73±0.35, 5.04±0.39, which were higher than those of female nursing students 4.51±0.34, 4.89±0.42, 3.91±0.38, 4.58± 0.31, 4.88±0.32, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.268-6.847, P<0.05). Male nursing internship in the use of theoretical knowledge, communication and clinical skills scores were 3.35±0.38, 3.76±0.45, 3.59±0.46, lower than that of female nursing internship 3.56±0.39, 3.54±0.42, 3.42±0.41, the difference was statistically significant (t=4.678, 2.851, 2.243, P<0.05). The level of mindfulness and the level of resilience of the male and female nursing internship were positively correlated with the ability of clinical practice (r=0.823-0.884, P<0.05). Conclusions The level of mindfulness and mental toughness is the influencing factors of nursing internship in clinical practice ability, through the cultivation of the level of mindfulness and mental toughness for clinical nursing internship, we can effectively improve the clinical practice ability of nursing students,improve the level of nursing and ensure medical safety.
