Project Overview

The research project focuses on investigating the influence of mindfulness practices on stress management among college students enrolled in Health and Physical Education programs. Stress has become a prevalent issue among college students due to academic pressure, social expectations, and personal challenges. Health and Physical Education programs aim to promote overall well-being, including mental health, among students. Mindfulness practices, which involve being present in the moment and cultivating self-awareness, have shown promise in reducing stress and improving mental health outcomes. This study seeks to explore the potential benefits of integrating mindfulness practices into Health and Physical Education curricula to help college students effectively manage stress. By examining the impact of mindfulness techniques on stress levels, coping mechanisms, and overall well-being, the research aims to provide valuable insights into the role of mindfulness in promoting mental health among college students. Through a combination of literature review, research methodology, data analysis, and discussion of findings, this project will offer a comprehensive overview of the relationship between mindfulness practices and stress management in the context of Health and Physical Education programs. The research findings are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on mental health interventions for college students and provide practical recommendations for educators and health professionals working in higher education settings.
