简要总结
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the well-being and mental health of college students, driven by a significant increase in mental health problems within this population. Several mindfulness interventions, a technique to improve present moment awareness and emotional acceptance, have shown positive results in improving mental health and developing healthy lifestyle habits in this group.
A recent systematic review with meta-analysis (González et al. 2023) indicates that not only the complete standardized 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program but also other Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) are effective. Compared to MBSR, other MBIs require less time commitment, making them more accessible to a larger population and potentially improving program adherence.
In this study, the researchers compare the results of two interventions, one with MBSR (both in-person and virtual) and another with a shorter MBI (in-person) in a sample of 100 university students. Using four different tools as pre- and post-test measures (Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire [CEVS-2], Mental Health Continuous Form [MHC-SF], Perceived Stress Scale [PSS], and Mood Regulation Skills Questionnaire). emotions [ERSQ] ]), researchers aim to establish the potential degree of health improvement that different mindfulness interventions can have on the health of university students.

结局指标
主要结局
The Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]
时间窗: Up to twelve weeks
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This scale is a self-report instrument that evaluates the level of perceived stress during the last month, it consists of 14 items with a response format of a five-point scale (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2 = occasionally when, 3 = often, 4 = very often). The total score of the PSS is obtained by reversing the scores of items 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 (in the following sense: 0=4, 1=3, 2=2, 3=1 and 4 =0) and then adding the 14 items. The direct score obtained indicates that a higher score corresponds to a higher level of perceived stress.
Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire [CEVS-2]
时间窗: Up to twelve weeks
The Healthy Lifestyles Questionnaire (CEVS-2) evaluates habits related to physical activity, nutrition, rest, stress management, social relationships and personal hygiene using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate better practices in these aspects, while lower scores suggest areas where improvement could be made.
Mental Health Questionnaire [MHC-SF]
时间窗: Up to twelve weeks
The Mental Health Questionnaire (MHC-SF) evaluates mental health in different dimensions using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate better mental health status in areas such as emotional, social and psychological well-being, while lower scores may indicate areas of concern or need for support.
Emotional Regulation Questionnaire [ERSQ])
时间窗: Up to twelve weeks
evaluates emotional regulation strategies using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate a more effective and healthy use of strategies to manage and regulate emotions, while lower scores may indicate difficulties in this aspect.
