Purpose This study aimed to identify the factors associated with mindful eating of clinical nurses. Design and methods We recruited 205 nurses and administered a structured questionnaire. All factors correlating significantly with mindful eating were analysed using multiple regression analysis. Findings The results showed that the mindful eating score was positively associated with mental well‐being. Conversely, mindful eating score was significantly lower among obese participants and a higher level of occupational stress. Practice implications Our findings can provide a basic reference for developing interventions that improve healthy eating habits and thereby help to manage mental well‐being among nurses.
