Abstract

Objective: To explore the relationship between mindful attention awareness and attitudes toward social handwashing among undergraduate nursing and midwifery students.

Method: A cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 679 undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. Data were collected using two scales: (1) the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and (2) the Attitude Scale toward Social Handwashing (ASSHW). Additionally, the participants provided data on their sociodemographic characteristics and responded to an inventory of handwashing practices. Relationships between scores were examined using Spearman's rho.

Results: The students' mindful attention levels (MAAS) averaged 44.97 ± 11.46, and their attitudes toward social handwashing (ASSHW) averaged 78.32 ± 13.67. While no direct correlation was found between overall ASSHW and MAAS scores, there were positive correlations between mindful attention levels and certain ASSHW sub-dimensions, as well as with specific handwashing behaviors such as frequency and duration.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that mindful attention may support better hand hygiene practices among nursing and midwifery students.

护理助产专业学生对社会洗手的注意意识和态度。

目的：探讨护理助产专业本科生正念注意意识与社会洗手态度的关系。方法：对679名护理与助产学本科学生进行横断面相关性研究。采用正念注意意识量表（MAAS）和社交洗手态度量表（ASSHW）收集数据。此外，参与者还提供了他们的社会人口学特征数据，并对洗手习惯的清单做出了回应。分数之间的关系用斯皮尔曼的rho来检验。结果：学生正念注意水平（MAAS）平均为44.97±11.46，社交洗手态度（ashw）平均为78.32±13.67。整体洗手习惯与MAAS评分无直接相关，但正念注意水平与某些洗手习惯子维度，以及特定的洗手行为（如频率和持续时间）存在正相关。结论：这些发现表明，正念注意可能支持护理和助产学学生更好的手卫生习惯。
