Abstract：Objective To investigate the effects of mindfulness on sleep quality of plateau armed police officers and soldiers,and to explore the mediating role of rumination and negative attention bias and the moderating role of work stress.Methods A total of 454 male armed police officers and soldiers in Tibet and Gannan were investigated by using Mindful Attention Awareness Scale,Ruminative Response Scale,Negative Attention Bias Scale,Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and work stress scale for armed police officers and soldiers.Results The mindfulness of armed police officers and soldiers was significantly negatively correlated with rumination(r=-0.734,P<0.01),negative attention bias(r=-0.663,P<0.01),sleep quality(r=-0.684,P<0.01),and work stress(r=-0.485,P<0.01).Mindfulness had a significant direct effect on sleep quality of armed police officers and soldiers(β=-0.078,P<0.01).Both rumination and negative attention bias were partially mediating between mindfulness and sleep quality(β=-0.054,P<0.01;β=-0.016,P<0.01).Furthermore,rumination and negative attention bias played a chain mediating role between mindfulness and sleep quality(β=-0.011,P<0.01).Additionally,work stress played a moderating role in the influence path of mindfulness on sleep quality(β=0.071,P<0.01).Conclusion Mindfulness can affect the sleep quality of armed police officers and soldiers through rumination and negative attention bias.Sleep quality can be improved by improving stressful work environments or conducting mindfulness intervention training.
