Yousaf Jamal, Sayyeda Taskeen Zahra.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive relationship of mindfulness and resilience with mental health problems.
Methodology: A sample of 411 university students (51% boys and 49% girls), aged 18-25 year (mean 20.90±2.01) were recruited through multistage sampling technique. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and Depression, Anxiety Stress Scale were used to measure mindfulness, resilience, and mental health problems.
Results: Mindfulness and resilience accounted for a 14% variance on anxiety and stress, and 13% variance on depression. Mindfulness emerged as a significant predictor of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Conclusion: These findings have implications for the counseling and training of university students.

Key words: Resilience, mindfulness, depression, anxiety, stress.
