 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.
