[Abstract]Objective: To explore the effect of mindfulness training on maternal negative emotions. Methods: 100 cases of puerpera were selected from January 2020 to December 2020. They were randomly divided into two groups, 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing care, while the study group was given mindfulness exercises at the same time. The intervention effect was compared between the two groups. Results: after the intervention, the scores of self rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and self rating Depression Scale (SDS) in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the five factor mental awareness scale (ffmq) score was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the first, second and third stages of labor in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); no postpartum depression occurred in the study group The incidence was 12.00% (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the implementation of mindfulness practice in maternal nursing can reduce their negative emotions, improve mindfulness level, relieve labor pain and reduce postpartum depression.
