Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that meditation-only interventions improve university students' resilience compared to both active and passive control conditions. The analysis synthesized data from multiple trials to estimate the relative effectiveness of different meditation approaches. The results indicate that meditation interventions can enhance resilience in this population, though the magnitude of effect varies across specific meditation types. The authors suggest that incorporating meditation programs into university settings may support student well-being and coping abilities.
