Background: Numerous studies showed a stable relationship between metacognition and resilience with health anxiety. On the other hand, women are the most vulnerable during accidents and disasters, and the onset of anxiety in them is more than in men. However, research on the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between metacognition and corona anxiety in women is neglected.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between metacognition and corona anxiety.
Methods: The research method was correlational modeling of structural equations. The statistical population included all women referred to the health centers of the Shemiranat health network from April 4 to June 5, 2021. A total of 250 eligible women were selected through the convenience method through internet call and responded online to the metacognition and positive metacognition questionnaires (Beer, 2011) and coronavirus anxiety (Alipour et al., 2020), and resilience scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The data was used to analyze correlation tests and structural equation modeling using SPSS-25 and 3Smart PLS software.
Results: There was a significant negative relationship (P <0.01) between resilience and corona anxiety and a meaningful positive relationship (P <0.01) between metacognition and resilience. Resilience mediates the relationship between metacognition and corona anxiety.
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that changing metacognition and practical resilience training can be useful in preventing the onset and continuation, and exacerbation of anxiety, especially corona anxiety in women.
