The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of resilience and emotional intelligence in the relationship between attachment styles and mental health among female nurses in Isfahan. The research method was descriptive-correlational and applied. The statistical population of the study included all female nurses working in educational and therapeutic hospitals in Isfahan in 1404, from which 385 people were selected using a convenient and stratified sampling method. Adult Attachment Styles (ECR), Mental Health (GHQ-28), Connor-Davidson Resilience (CD-RISC), and Schott Emotional Intelligence (SSUEI) questionnaires were used to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and AMOS-24 software and at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling). The results showed that there is a negative and significant correlation between insecure attachment styles (avoidant and anxious) and mental health, and a positive and significant correlation between resilience and emotional intelligence and mental health. The results of structural equation modeling also showed that resilience and emotional intelligence simultaneously play a significant mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and mental health; meaning that insecure attachment styles lead to a decrease in mental health by reducing resilience and emotional intelligence. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that strengthening resilience and emotional intelligence skills can moderate the negative effects of insecure attachment styles on the mental health of nurses and can be used as an effective strategy to promote mental health in this occupational group.
