ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of mindfulness traits on sleep quality of college students,and to investigate the mediating mechanism of cognitive emotion regulation and anxiety for mindful-ness trait factors,and sleep quality in college students. Methods Totally 397 college students from five col-leges were investigated using Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire,Cognitive Emotion Regulation Question-naire,Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. SPSS 22. 0 version and Bootstrap method were used to analysis data and test intermediate effect. Results (1)The total score of mindfulness trait and the score of describe,act with awareness and non-judge factors in mindfulness traits were(118. 44±9. 38), (24. 82± 3. 87),(27. 41± 5. 53) and ( 25. 07 ± 4. 60),respectively. The total score of sleep quality was (5. 57±2. 62),and it was negatively related to the above three factors (r=-0. 13--0. 37,all P<0. 05). (2) Anxiety played a complete mediating role between describe factor and sleep quality. Negative cognitive emo-tion regulation and anxiety played multiple mediating roles between the total score of mindfulness trait,the act with awareness factor and sleep quality. Negative cognitive emotion regulation and anxiety played a complete chain mediated role between non-judge factor and sleep quality. Conclusion The describe,act with aware-ness and non-judge factors in mindfulness traits can affect sleep quality through mediation of negative cogni-tive emotion regulation and / or anxiety.
