Study Overview
Brief Summary
Purpose: This study aims to determine the impact of mindfulness-based stress reduction programs on sleep quality, stress level and heart rate variability of university students Design: The study was planned as an experimental study with a randomized control group, using pre-test, post-test and follow-up test.
Hypotheses:
H1: The sleep quality level scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to the students in the control group. H2: Students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will decrease their stress level level scores compared to the students in the control group. H3: The heart rate variability of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will be higher than the students in the control group.
H4: The sleep quality level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to their pretest scores. H5: The stress level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores. H6: The heart rate variability level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Sleep Quality Level
Time Frame: for 8 months
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: The 18 items scored are divided into 7 component scores. Some ingredients consist of a single substance, while others are obtained by combining several substances. Each item is assessed on a scale between 0-3. These components are; subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping pills, daytime dysfunction. The sum of these seven component scores gives the overall index score. Your total score is between 0-21. A high total score indicates poor sleep quality. The index does not indicate the presence or prevalence of sleep disorders.
Secondary Outcomes
- Stress Level(for 8 months)
- Heart Rate Variability(for 8 months)
