Aim and background: Studies indicate that chronic pain is a comprehensive medical complaint,in a way that many adults are engaged in this process. Thus in this study the aim was to examine the structural relationship of early maladaptive schemas and pain with the mediating role of mindfulness in university students. Methods and Materials: The participants included 201 undergraduate students who were chosen by multistage cluster sampling method. Young early maladaptive schema scale, FFMQ, and Mac-Gill pain Questionnaire were administered. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap tests were conducted to explore direct and indirect pathways of study’s model, respectively. Findings: Results showed that early maladaptive schemas and pain are antecedents and consequences of mindfulness in students,respectively. The results indicate that mindfulness has a significant mediating role on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and pain. The tested model is a fit model to explain university students’ pain. conclusions: The results showed that early maladaptive schemas and dispositional mindfulness are the main determinants of chronic pain.
