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.

Surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is perceived as a 'divine gift' that leads to a more conscious and meaningful life. Eight Greek-speaking survivors described their experiences through in-depth interviews, revealing five themes: the unexpected attack, experiencing a different world (transformation of body, time, emotion, and sensation), restoration of the re-embodied self, life transformation, and personal transformation. Despite physical and psychosocial challenges, participants reported a newly acquired deep appreciation for life and others. Construction of meaning and heightened spirituality appear central to reconstructing life after cardiac arrest. The themes align with transcultural components of near-death experiences.

Mindfulness among ward nurses involves three core attributes: being in the present moment, paying attention, and being receptive. Practicing mindfulness leads to positive changes, including improved well-being and reduced burnout, anxiety, and depression. This concept analysis, based on eleven peer-reviewed articles, provides a framework for understanding mindfulness specifically in ward nurses, which can inform future research and nursing administration.
