The Chinese Short-Form Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-SF) shows good overall fit for measuring mindfulness in nursing students in mainland China, with confirmatory factor analyses supporting a five-factor structure. Composite reliability values ranged from 0.685 to 0.870, and average variance extracted values from 0.426 to 0.627. One-factor models provided the best fit for four of the five subscales. The cross-sectional study included 240 undergraduate nursing students from a Beijing school of nursing who completed the FFMQ-SF and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale. Results suggest the scale is a valid instrument for assessing mindfulness and its relationship with mental health in this population.
