During the coronavirus pandemic, pre-hospital emergency staff who practiced mindfulness were more likely to experience flow states, a sense of full immersion and engagement in their work. This connection was explained by two factors: psychological capital (a positive psychological state including hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism) and coping competence (the ability to manage stressful situations). The findings suggest that mindfulness supports well-being and optimal functioning in high-stress healthcare roles by strengthening these personal resources.
