Mindfulness and Related Factors among Undergraduate Students

The purpose of this research is to investigate the status of mindfulness among students. 273 undergraduate students studying in the first semester were research participants. This study was carried out using Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale. The mean level of mindfulness in the respondents is 3.77 and there was no significant correlation between the level of mindfulness and age, gender, religion, race, family and educational background. Field of study had no effect on this level. The correlation was between the level of mindfulness and health condition (a=.04, 2 tailed). To strengthen the level of mindfulness among students, increasing health condition, upgrading the quality of mental health, applying mindful principles and increasing thrust and novelty in universities are beneficial.
