To examine the relationship between meaning in life and flourishing among medical students, while determining the mediating role of grit.
Conducted a quantitative cross-sectional correlation study among medical students (N=291) selected via proportional stratified random sampling at Kashan University of Medical Sciences in 2024.
Assessed participants using Steger's meaning in life scale, Duckworth's short grit scale, and Rashid and Seligman's flourishing scale, analyzing data via structural equation modeling.
Meaning in life directly predicted flourishing (β = 0.461, p < 0.001) and grit (β = 0.428, p < 0.001).
Grit positively predicted flourishing (β = 0.276, p < 0.001) and significantly mediated the relationship between meaning in life and flourishing (indirect effect β = 0.118, p = 0.003).
