ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to understand the influence of mindfulness and positive psychological capital on psychological burnout of middle-aged women. The study was conducted on 125 middle-aged women who live in Busan Metropolitan City. Frequency analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were performed using the SPSS program, and regression analysis was performed to investigate causal relationship between the variables. The study found that first, the mindfulness factor recognized by middle-aged women has a significant influence on psychological burnout. Second, among the subfactors of positive psychological capital perceived by middle-aged women, only the hope factor has an influence on psychological burnout. On the other hand, other subfactors of positive psychological capital, self-efficacy, optimism and resilience, did not have significant effect on psychological burnout. This means that the more the middle-aged women recognize mindfulness, positive psychological capital, and hope factors, the lower their psychological burnout are. The results of this research are expected to become the basis for devising measures to improve the system for the reduction of psychological burnout among middle-aged women.
