Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the effects of mindfulness training on stress levels and well-being among college students through a randomized controlled trial. The study aims to address the increasing prevalence of stress-related issues among students and explore mindfulness as an effective intervention to enhance well-being. The research design involves a randomized controlled trial with a sample of college students assigned to either a mindfulness training group or a control group. Various measures of stress levels, well-being, and mindfulness will be collected before and after the intervention to assess the impact of mindfulness training. The literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing research on mindfulness, stress, and well-being in the college student population. The research methodology outlines the study design, participant recruitment, intervention protocol, data collection procedures, and statistical analysis plan. The findings of the study will be discussed in detail, highlighting the effects of mindfulness training on stress levels and well-being among college students. The implications of the results for promoting mental health and well-being in educational settings will be discussed, along with recommendations for future research. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on the benefits of mindfulness training in reducing stress and enhancing well-being among college students.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "The Impact of Mindfulness Training on Stress Levels and Well-being Among College Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial" aims to investigate the effects of mindfulness training on stress levels and overall well-being in college students. This study is crucial in addressing the growing concern of stress and mental health issues among college students, highlighting the importance of implementing effective interventions to promote well-being. The project will utilize a randomized controlled trial design, a rigorous methodological approach that allows for the evaluation of the causal relationship between mindfulness training and its impact on stress and well-being. The study will involve a sample of college students who will be randomly assigned to either a mindfulness training group or a control group. This random assignment helps to ensure that any observed differences in outcomes can be attributed to the intervention rather than other factors. The intervention group will participate in a structured mindfulness training program, which may include mindfulness meditation practices, breathing exercises, and cognitive strategies aimed at increasing awareness and reducing stress levels. The control group, on the other hand, will not receive any specific intervention during the study period. Data collection will involve pre- and post-assessments of stress levels, well-being, and other relevant outcomes using validated measurement tools. By comparing the outcomes between the intervention and control groups, the study aims to determine whether mindfulness training has a significant impact on reducing stress levels and enhancing overall well-being among college students. The findings of this research have the potential to contribute valuable insights to the field of health and physical education, particularly in understanding the benefits of mindfulness training in addressing stress and promoting mental health among college students. By shedding light on the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions, this study may inform the development of future strategies and programs aimed at supporting the well-being of college students and improving their overall academic and personal success.
