A brief online mindfulness intervention: study protocol for Indonesian undergraduate students, a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depression persist among undergraduate students in Eastern countries, including Indonesia. Access to mental healthcare resources, however, remains difficult and costly for most young people. Furthermore, there is a strong tendency to avoid seeking professional help. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a brief 14-day online mindfulness intervention in reducing stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) among a representative sample of Indonesian undergraduate students. Given the mixed empirical evidence on the role of RNT in mindfulness, the secondary aim is to investigate the mediating role of RNT in the effects of mindfulness on stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.<
