How does mindfulness boost work engagement and inhibit psychological distress among hospital employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? The mediating and moderating role of psychological resilience
Open accessAbstract
This study examines the, mediating and moderating effects of psychological resilience on the relationship between employee mindfulness and job-related outcomes such as work engagement and psychological distress. By employing the tenets of the Job Demands-Resources theory, a model was tested by collecting data from 164 nurses in North Cyprus. The results indicate that mindfulness significantly increased engagement, and resilience positively mediated this relationship. Furthermore, results revealed that mindfulness is negatively and significantly related to psychological distress and that resilience further alleviates this negative effect as a moderator. Practical implications of conducting training programs that boost resilience are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
