Effectiveness of a Multimodal Mindfulness Program to Alleviate Graduate Student Stress
2019年4月11日 更新者：Sharon Gutman、Columbia University
The purpose of this pilot study is to develop and assess a multimodal mindfulness activity program for physical and occupational therapy students intended to teach management of stressors impacting educational performance.
This study will use a two group, randomized controlled design in which approximately 25 students will be randomized to an intervention group and 25 to a control group.
Intervention will be implemented in an 8-week period with pre- and post-study measures administered at 1-week prior to and 1-week following intervention.
研究概览
详细说明
College students have reported increasing stress levels in the last 5 years with 1 in 6 students experiencing anxiety levels that adversely impact school function.
This study's intervention uses a variety of media and both online and in-person delivery strategies.
For example, students will have the opportunity to participate in yoga, Tai Chi, guided imagery meditation, creative arts, journaling, and pet therapy.
Students will additionally have the opportunity to participate in activities delivered through online media and accessible at all times throughout the study.
Approximately 50 occupational and physical therapy students will be recruited to participate in this study.
Half will be selected by chance to participate in the 8-week program; the remaining half will be selected by chance to participate in a non-intervention group in which they do not receive the program but are still assessed at pre- and post-program to measure perceived stress levels.
It is anticipated that study results will provide information to educational institutions to help students better manage stress levels.

Perceived Stress Scale
大体时间：10 minutes
|
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a 10-item, 5-point, self-report Likert scale (0 = no stress, 5 = high stress) that requires 5 minutes to complete.
The scale yields a total score ranging from 0 (no stress) to 50 (highest stress) with scores 25+ indicating a possible stress disorder.
The PSS measures stress level in the last month and was intended for use by community-dwelling adults.
