Resilience continues to be an important concept in the nursing profession due to its significant role in personal healthcare, patients' healthcare, and leadership. The present study examined the mediating role of perceived stress in the association between mindfulness and resilience among registered nurses in order to understand their importance among those in the Taiwanese nursing profession.
Between October and November 2021, a total of 816 registered nurses participated in a cross-sectional survey including psychometric measures assessing perceived stress (Chinese Perceived Stress Scale-10), mindfulness (Chinese Mindful Attention Awareness Scale), and resilience (Chinese Questionnaire of Resilience).
Results indicated that perceived stress mediated the association between mindfulness and resilience (standardized coefficient = 0.251, <0.001), although there was no significant association between mindfulness and resilience (standardized coefficient = 0.042, =0.16). This suggests that perceived stress may function as both distress and eustress because mindfulness was not directly associated with resilience but indirectly via perceived stress.
Nurses and their administrators should focus on different ways of coping with stress so that they become more resilient in facing other stressors. Future studies may be conducted to examine the mediating role of perceived stress in the association between other coping strategies and resilience among registered nurses.
由于恢复力在个人医疗保健、患者医疗保健及领导力方面发挥着重要作用，它在护理行业中仍是一个重要概念。本研究探讨了感知压力在注册护士正念与恢复力之间的关联中所起的中介作用，以便了解其在台湾护理行业从业者中的重要性。
2021年10月至11月期间，共有816名注册护士参与了一项横断面调查，其中包括评估感知压力（中文感知压力量表-10）、正念（中文正念注意觉知量表）和恢复力（中文恢复力问卷）的心理测量指标。
结果表明，感知压力介导了正念与恢复力之间的关联（标准化系数=0.251，<0.001），尽管正念与恢复力之间无显著关联（标准化系数=0.042，=0.16）。这表明感知压力可能兼具不良压力和良性压力的作用，因为正念并非直接与恢复力相关，而是通过感知压力间接相关。
护士及其管理人员应关注应对压力的不同方式，以便在面对其他压力源时更具恢复力。未来研究可探讨感知压力在注册护士其他应对策略与恢复力之间的关联中所起的中介作用。
