The present study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between mindfulness and concern about body image in students with bulimia nervosa. The current research was descriptive-correlation based on structural equation modeling. The research population was all students with bulimia nervosa studying at the free universities of Gilan province in the second semester of the 2011-2012 academic year. 300 students were selected for the sample group through purposive sampling. Research data through body image concern questionnaires (BICI) by Littleton et al. (2005), self-criticism level scale questionnaire by Thompson and Zuroff (2004), bulimia nervosa questionnaire by Gormali, Black, Duston, Radin (1982), and mindfulness scale (MASS) Ryan and Brown (2003) collected. The data were analyzed using structural equation analysis. The results showed that mindfulness and self-criticism have a direct and significant effect on body image concern (P<0.05). Also, mindfulness has a direct effect on self-criticism (P<0.05). Also, the results of the bootstrap test showed that mindfulness with the mediating role of criticism has a significant indirect effect on body image concern (P<0.05). According to the results of the proposed research model, it is a suitable fit. The results of the research indicate the importance of the role of mindfulness on body image concerns of students with bulimia nervosa. According to the obtained results, implementing programs to improve mindfulness in students with bulimia nervosa syndrome can lead to a reduction in body image concerns and self-criticism in them.
