International Journal of Research and Innovation in Applied Science January 1, 2025 Anuradha Sharma, Anuj Chauhan
An eight-week structured mindfulness program, including guided meditation, mindful breathing, reflective journaling, and body scan techniques, significantly reduced perceived academic stress among 200 students aged 16–22. Female participants showed higher mindfulness scores and slightly lower stress levels. Students also reported improved concentration, time management, sleep quality, and a more balanced approach to academic challenges. The findings support integrating mindfulness programs into academic institutions as an evidence-based strategy to enhance student mental health and performance.
