Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of mindfulness-based interventions on stress management in college students. Stress is a prevalent issue among college students, affecting their academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. Mindfulness-based interventions have gained attention for their potential to reduce stress and improve coping strategies. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in helping college students manage stress. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the literature on stress management, mindfulness, and interventions targeting college students. The literature review highlights the current understanding of stress in college students, the principles of mindfulness, and existing research on mindfulness-based interventions for stress reduction. The research methodology section describes the study design, participants, data collection methods, and data analysis procedures. A mixed-methods approach will be utilized, including surveys, interviews, and quantitative data analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of mindfulness-based interventions on stress management in college students. The findings section presents the results of the study, including quantitative data on stress levels before and after the mindfulness-based interventions, qualitative insights from participant interviews, and thematic analysis of the data. The discussion section interprets the findings in the context of existing literature, highlighting the implications for theory, practice, and future research. In conclusion, the study contributes to the growing body of research on mindfulness-based interventions for stress management in college students. The findings suggest that mindfulness-based interventions can be an effective tool for helping college students reduce stress and improve well-being. Recommendations for educators, counselors, and policymakers are provided to support the implementation of mindfulness-based interventions in college settings. Overall, this thesis underscores the importance of promoting mindfulness practices to enhance stress management among college students and improve their overall academic and personal success.
