Abstract Objective: To investigate the status quo of clinical nurses’ mindfulness,job burnout,and subjective wellbeing and to analyze the correlation among the three.Methods:Mindful Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS),Nursing Burnout Scale(NBS) and Index of WellBeing(IWB) were used to access mindfulness,job burnout and subjective wellbeing among 332 clinical nurses in a maternal and child specialist grade A tertiary hospital of Fuzhou city.Results:The total score of mindfulness was(53.88±10.63) points,which was at the middle level.The total score of job burnout and subjective wellbeing were(129.47±19.73) points and(9.88±1.99) points.Mindfulness was statistically significantly different among different ages(P<0.05).Job burnout was statistically significant among different ages,nursing ages,marital status and technical titles(P<0.05).Mindfulness was negatively correlated with job burnout(r=-0.445,P<0.001) and was positively correlated with subjective wellbeing(r=0.336,P<0.001).Job burnout was negatively correlated with subjective wellbeing(r=-0.439,P<0.001).Conclusions:Both subjective wellbeing and job burnout were related to mindfulness.For different characteristics of nurses,nursing managers should take targeted measures to improve clinical nurses’ level of mindfulness to relieve nurses job burnout and improve nurses subjective wellbeing,which expanded a new version of the intervention strategy for nursing human resource management.
