Background and Aim: Past studies have shown that self-esteem (SES) and self-efficacy (SEF) have a positive and significant relationship with the improvement of the patients. On the other hand, it has been proved that mindfulness improves the patient's health. Yet, the relationships between these three variables have not been investigated enough. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of mindfulness with SES and SEF in patients with severe psychological problems.
Materials and Methods: This analytic-descriptive study included all eligible patients. After informed consent (213 participants), necessary data were collected and we used Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R), Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, Mindfulness-based Self-Efficacy Scale-Revised (MSES-R) in this study. Using the 20th version of SPSS software, data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s coloration coefficient, independent t-test, and simple linear regression.
Results: Among 213 patients, 151 were male (%70/7), and 62 were female (%29/3). The mean age of the participants was 32 ± 10/04. Linear Regression showed a positive and significant relationship between variables (mindfulness with SES r =.489, mindfulness with SEF r =.307. Also, we found that we could predict a significant alteration in mindfulness by self-efficacy and self-esteem.
Conclusion: It seems that mindfulness has a reciprocal relationship with SEF and SES which can have an influence on the effects of each other. It is likely that SES and SEF are among the factors which are associated with the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based therapies
