Abstract: This study investigates the influence of psychological capital and mindfulness on mental health using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. Drawing upon positive psychology frameworks, psychological capital—comprising hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism—and mindfulness are conceptualized as protective factors that enhance psychological well-being. Data were collected from a diverse sample of participants using validated psychometric instruments. The SEM analysis revealed significant direct effects of both psychological capital and mindfulness on mental health outcomes, as well as a partial mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between psychological capital and mental health. These findings underscore the importance of fostering psychological resources and mindfulness practices to promote mental health and inform the development of targeted interventions in clinical and organizational settings.
