Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim is to investigate what relationships exist between resilience and mindfulness in undergraduate nurse training and how these might contribute to well-being. DESIGN AND METHODS: One hundred and six students participated in this cross-sectional study. Multivariate and bivariate procedures were utilized to assess the differences between students' demographics, academic resilience, and mindfulness. FINDINGS: The findings suggested that acceptance and attention within mindfulness were important for resilience. Students who had higher levels of academic resilience also had higher indexes of mindfulness. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: A key implication is that learning and practice areas should ensure that well-being, mindfulness, and resilience literacy are key issues for students in training. This is at a time when mental health support and staff retention are foremost in policymakers' minds.
