Mindfulness can improve psychological well-being and reduce stress, which can further
improve overall health. Effective health promotion strategies in educational settings
can be determined by an understanding of the effects of mindfulness on students. The
present study aims to explore the association between mindfulness, psychological
well-being, and health-promoting lifestyle, and also seeks to investigate whether PWB
mediates the effect of mindfulness on HPLB. 200 university students were recruited
from various districts of Haryana. Self-report measures were used to collect data from
the sample, which was statistically analyzed using PROCESS macro software on
SPSS. The findings indicate a positive correlation of PWB with mindfulness (.444) and
HPLB (.339), whereas the correlation between mindfulness and HPLB is not significant.
Mindfulness was not found to be a significant predictor of HPLB, but through the path
of PWB, it can predict HPLB. PWB partially mediates the relationship between
mindfulness and HPLB of university students.
