Methods For convenient sampling, 600 nursing students who belong to 4 colleges and universities of Henan were investigated using the general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Results The scores of occupational burnout were as follow: the score of emotional exhaustion was (33.46 ± 9.31) points, the score of depersonalization was (14.26 ± 5.91) points, the score of low personal achievement was (17.58 ± 8.49) points, the score of mindfulness was (57.27 ± 13.41) points. Mindfulness had a significant negative effect on job burnout, emotional exhaustion and low personal achievement. Level of mindfulness, language violence and work overtime in-terns, and possible of clinical nursing work in the future were the main factors influencing job burnout, and three factors could explain 25.4％ of job burnout.
