Effectiveness of a Brief Online Mindfulness-Based Intervention for University Students.

Mindfulness January 1, 2023 Sabrina Fagioli, Susanna Pallini, Stefano Mastandrea et al.

A brief online mindfulness-based intervention in an online university course improved attention, academic self-efficacy, and sense of belonging to a community. Four-hundred and eighty-six participants (average age 22.88) were assigned to either an experimental group that received the intervention or a control group that did not. The intervention included breathing meditation, sharing experiences, mini-lectures on mindfulness, and daily practice over 28 consecutive days. Compared to controls, the experimental group showed significant increases in influencing course activities, self-regulation of attention, academic self-efficacy, and self-efficacy in regulating learning. Adherence to practice partially explained the effectiveness.
