The association of mindfulness with stress self-management among university teachers: the mediating roles of resilience and cognitive reappraisal.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This study addresses a critical gap in understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying stress self-management among university teachers. Specifically, it develops and tests a Conservation of Resources (COR)-based dual-mediator model, examining how mindfulness contributes to stress self-management through two sequentially linked psychological resources: resilience and cognitive reappraisal. By focusing on this sequential pathway, the study provides novel insights into the dynamic resource accumulation process that supports adaptive stress regulation in higher education contexts. Methods: This study targets university teachers in Hunan Province. Using snowball and purposive sampling, participants were asked to forward the questionnaire to colleagues. The survey was conducted in June 2025, collecting 287 valid responses via Wenjuanxing. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS 26.0 to examine the relationships among mindfulness, resilience, cognitive reappraisal, and stress self-management. Results: The analysis revealed significant associations among the study variables. Mindfulness was positively associated with both resilience ( Discussion: These findings suggest that mindfulness is linked to higher resilience and greater use of adaptive cognitive strategies, which are in turn associated with better stress self-management. The study contributes to the application of COR theory in educational settings by identifying a sequential resource-activation pathway. Practically, the results indicate that mindfulness-based activities, combined with resilience training and emotion-regulation routines, may support psychological well-being and sustainable performance among university faculty. In sum, mindfulness is associated with better stress self-management largely through higher resilience and greater use of cognitive reappraisal.
