Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The research project focuses on exploring the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress reduction in college students. Stress among college students is a prevalent issue that can have significant negative impacts on their mental and physical health, academic performance, and overall well-being. Mindfulness meditation has gained attention as a potential intervention to address stress and its related consequences. The study will involve college students who will participate in an 8-week mindfulness meditation program. The program will include guided mindfulness meditation sessions, breathing exercises, and discussions on stress management techniques. Quantitative measures such as stress assessments, anxiety and depression scales, and academic performance indicators will be used to evaluate the impact of mindfulness meditation on stress reduction. The research aims to investigate the changes in stress levels, anxiety, and depression symptoms among college students before and after the mindfulness meditation program. Additionally, the study will explore the potential effects of mindfulness meditation on academic performance and overall well-being. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the existing literature on mindfulness meditation as an effective strategy for stress reduction in college students. The results may provide insights into the feasibility and benefits of incorporating mindfulness meditation programs into college settings to support students' mental health and well-being. Overall, this research project seeks to highlight the importance of addressing stress among college students and the potential role of mindfulness meditation in promoting stress reduction and overall well-being. By providing empirical evidence on the effects of mindfulness meditation, this study aims to offer valuable information for colleges and universities to consider implementing mindfulness-based interventions to support students' mental health needs.
