Examine the relationship between mindfulness and emotional regulation in nursing students as well as the potential mediating role of working memory capacity in this relationship. |
Cross-sectional n=85 |
There was a significant but relatively small positive correlation between dispositional mindfulness and emotional regulation (reappraisal). These results suggest that dispositional mindfulness has a direct effect on the use of reappraisal as an emotional regulation strategy and working memory capacity. |

Develop a resilience building module and assess the effect of applying this module on the results of resilience, well-being and mindfulness in a sample of nursing students. |
Sequential explanatory n=195 |
The second workshop of the module introduced approaches to stress management, with a particular focus on the use of mindfulness-based practices. Univariate and multivariate regression analyzes showed that dispositional mindfulness presented significant positive correlations with resilience. Only dispositional mindfulness remained significantly associated with resilience, indicating that this variable is a relevant independent predictor of resilience. Notably, the data above suggest that the level of dispositional mindfulness independently predicted resilience in this sample. Further research is recommended to explore the effects of a more intensive treatment program with a stronger focus on mindfulness and the inclusion of more activities in smaller groups. |

Assess psychological distress in a sample of Italian nursing students and explore its relationship with sociodemographic and psychological factors, specifically dispositional mindfulness, difficulties in emotional regulation and empathy. |
Cross-sectional n=622 |
Regarding the dimensions of dispositional mindfulness that predict the psychological performance of nursing students, participants with higher levels of describing (p = 0.016), acting with awareness (p < 0.001), non-judgment (p < 0.001) and not reactivity (p < 0.001) had lower levels of psychological distress. These results suggest that the inclusion of mindfulness-based interventions may be beneficial in protecting nursing students from stress. |

Investigate the relationships between socio-cognitive mindfulness, emotional regulation, and positive and negative emotions of achievement among nursing students. |
Cross-sectional n=459 |
Sociocognitive mindfulness correlated positively with reappraisal and negatively with suppression. Furthermore, reappraisal mediated the link between sociocognitive mindfulness and positive emotions, and suppression mediated the link between sociocognitive mindfulness and negative emotions. These findings suggest that sociocognitive mindfulness may be effective in regulating emotions among nursing students, improving reappraisal and reducing suppression. |

Investigate the correlation between dispositional mindfulness, emotional regulation and perceived stress and verify factors associated with dispositional mindfulness in nursing students. |
Cross-sectional n=335 |
Moderate mean scores for dispositional mindfulness, emotional regulation and perceived stress were identified. There was no significant correlation between dispositional mindfulness, general emotional regulation score and perceived stress, with this first variable being weakly correlated with the emotional regulation dimension of emotion suppression. Thus, the results indicate a relationship between dispositional mindfulness only with the dimension of emotional regulation and suppression of emotions. |

Investigate and compare the effect of two educational methods based on mindfulness and cognitive emotional regulation strategies on the psychological well-being and anxiety of nursing and midwifery students. |
Quasi-experimental Pre- and post-test n=30 |
The results of this study showed that mindfulness-based and cognitive emotional regulation training can reduce anxiety scores and increase psychological well-being scores in nursing and midwifery students before the comprehensive examination. Therefore, it is recommended to consider educational programs based on mindfulness practices and cognitive emotional regulation to promote the mental health and academic/professional success of this group of students. |
