简要总结
Higher education students 18 years or older will participate in 8- virtual mindfulness meditation sessions over 3 to 4 weeks (minimum of 3 sessions per week). Each session will be 30 minutes long, 15 minutes for guided mindfulness meditation run by researchers, followed by a short discussion period to understand mindfulness meditation better. Before starting the mindfulness meditation session, baseline data will be collected.
详细描述
Sleep consider a restorative occupation that affects other daily activities, such as academic performance. Mindfulness meditation may improve sleep quality and decrease perceived stress in higher education students. There is limited research on virtual mindfulness meditation involving sleep quality and perceived stress in higher education students. The researchers will measure changes in sleep quality and perceived stress after participants completed 8- virtual mindfulness meditation sessions using PSQI, PSS, and the Fitbit Inspire 2™.

结局指标
主要结局
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
时间窗: 10 minutes
The PSQI is a nine-question, self-report index that assesses quality of sleep. The questionnaire is made up of scaled responses from 0-3; 0 is not during the past month, 1 is less than once a week, 2 is once or twice a week, and 3 is three or more times a week. If the individual scores higher than a 5 overall, it is an indication of poor sleep quality.
