Objective:To investigate the status of mindfulness and mental health of front-line nurses during public health emergencies,and to explore the mediating effect of emotional intelligence between mindfulness and mental health of front-line nurses.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to recruit 215 front-line nurses from a tertiary grade A hospital in Hohhot in January 2023.Participants were investigated by the self-designed general data questionnaire,21-Item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale(DASS-21),Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS)and Wong and Law's Emotional Intelligence Scale(WLEIS).Results:Depression-anxiety-stress score was negatively correlated with mindfulness and emotional intelligence score(P＜0.01).The results of Bootstrap test showed that the mediating effect of emotional intelligence score between mindfulness score and depression-anxiety-stress score in front-line nurses was-0.146(95％CI:from-0.219 to-0.083),accounting for 44.0％of the total effects.Conclusion:Emotional intelligence has a partial mediating effect between mindfulness and mental health of front-line nurses.Hospital managers should pay attention to improving nurses'mental health and strengthening their ability to cope with public health emergencies.
