Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness-based meditation is a practice that has been proven to have many physiological and psychological health benefits such as positive lifestyle habits, increased mindfulness, decrease in substance use, decrease in stress, better mood states, and enhanced coping strategies. University students undergo many different types of stressors at one time such as financial instability, identity development, academic pressures, parental expectations, and racial/cultural differences (Kadison & Geronimo, 2004). Intense stress when it is not coped with effectively can lead to many different health problems physically and mentally. The current study evaluates the effects of mindfulness meditation with undergraduate students and it was expected that practicing mindfulness meditation would 1) reduce perceptions of stress, 2) increase perceptions of mindfulness, and 3) increase rates of acceptability in relation to mindfulness and meditation. It was also expected that an increase in compliance and acceptance would occur after experiencing the intervention. Thirty-one undergraduate students participated in an intervention, a 7-day phase of completing a survey on their meditation practice, and a 30- day follow up survey. There was no statistical significance between the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) at 30-day follow up from preintervention scores. However, students who continued meditation practice over the 7-day phase did see a significant outcome between the scores (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness meditation practices are becoming increasingly popular in both research and practice. Mindfulness has shown to have positive benefits on both physical and mental health. College students are exposed to stressors on a daily basis, and often utilize unhealthy or unproductive coping strategies. Little is known about the effectiveness of a brief, in-class mindfulness training program for college students. This study incorporated several mindfulness techniques into a training series designed for undergraduate college students. Changes in the Perceived Stress Scale and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale were analyzed and compared between a control group and training group. Based on prior research, it was hypothesized that four brief mindfulness sessions would reduce self-reported stress and increase mindful qualities in participants. Also, it was hypothesized that larger doses of mindfulness, which included both in-class training and out-of-class practice, would produce lower perceived stress levels and higher mindful qualities. No significant differences were found between the training and control groups for either measure, however the training group itself saw significant decreases in perceived stress post-training, and significant increases in both amount of mindfulness practice and familiarity of mindfulness. In future research, distinct control groups and more participants are needed to assess for training effects.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study examined the stress-reducing effects of a mindfulness training intervention on college students. The participants were 28 students enrolled in a community health science course at California State University, Long Beach. Participants participated in a mindfulness training and learned three mindfulness based activities. Perceived stress was assessed pre- and post-intervention. Participants completed a follow-up survey 2 weeks after the training. A dependent t-test was used to assess the changes in stress levels. There were significant changes in perceived stress with a medium to large effect size. Limitations and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Download or read book The Buffering Effect of Mindfulness Between the Stressors and Perceived Stress in Faith-based University Students written by Amber Glantz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of study was to research the buffering effect of mindfulness between the stressors and perceived stress in faith-based university students. Literature suggests that as mindfulness increases, stress decreases. This study attempts to provide information on college students’ perceived stress levels, stressors they face, and mindfulness awareness. A multiple linear regression was conducted to examine the association between perceived stress, stressors, and mindfulness levels. A sample of 91 students in the Spring of 2018 at a faith-based university in Texas were asked to participate in an online survey. Some findings were not congruent with the literature. The results of this study found that the significant factors of perceived stress were: overwhelming responsibilities, class attendance, being female, sleep, and course load. The top stressors of students were course load and responsibility. It also showed how female students showed to be more stressed and overall students at this private university showed to be more stressed then in other studies. Though mindfulness did not buffer the effect of stressors and perceived stress, the results of this study informed the university and counseling center of the stressors of college students on campus, mindfulness levels, and perceived stress levels. Prevention is key to student success, and college counseling centers can provide prevention for students by offering one-on-one counseling, group counseling, workshops, and skills training for students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students and other young adults today experience high levels of stress as they pursue personal, educational, and career goals. These struggles can have serious consequences, and may increase the risk of psychological distress and mental illness among the age group now commonly referred to as "emerging adults." Scientific research has shown that practicing mindfulness can help manage stress and enhance quality of life, but traditional methods of teaching mindfulness and meditation may not be effective for college-age adults. This fully updated second edition of Mindfulness for the Next Generation describes an evidence-based approach for teaching the useful and important skill of mindfulness to emerging adults. The manualized, four-session program outlined here, Koru Mindfulness, is designed to help young adults navigate challenging tasks, and achieve meaningful personal growth. Rogers and Maytan, psychiatrists and developers of Koru Mindfulness, also discuss the unique stressors emerging adults face, identify effective teaching techniques for working with them, and review the now-robust research supporting mindfulness for stress reduction in a scientifically rigorous yet reader-friendly way. Among the features new to this edition are new data on the effectiveness of the curriculum, an introduction to the Koru mindfulness teacher certification program, and adaptations for culturally informed practice, reflecting the international appeal of Koru Mindfulness as well as its growing use outside of college settings, and extensively revised in-session scripts. Mindfulness for the Next Generation is written for therapists, teachers, health professionals, and student service providers.

This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the impact of a 12-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on undergraduate students' stress levels, anxiety, overall well-being, and academic performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative assessments using standardized questionnaires and qualitative interviews. The study was conducted at a local university in Arizona, United States, utilizing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with 100 participants. Results from the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale (GAD-7) demonstrated significant reductions in stress and anxiety levels among MBSR participants at the post-intervention assessment. Furthermore, improvements in overall well-being were evident based on the WHO-5 Well-being Index. Analysis of Grade Point Average (GPA) scores revealed statistically significant improvements in both the experimental and control groups, with slightly higher gains observed in the experimental group. Qualitative insights from interviews highlighted positive experiences with the MBSR program, including enhanced stress and anxiety management and positive impacts on academic performance. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of mindfulness interventions in educational settings, emphasizing their potential to support student well-being and academic success.
