Resumen

Academic stress is a significant challenge for students, influencing their performance and well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an online mindfulness meditation program in reducing academic stress among college students. A quasi-experimental study was conducted on a sample of 78 participants divided into an experimental group and a waiting list control group. Pre-test and post-test measurements were taken. The SISCO Academic Stress Inventory was used to assess academic stress. The experimental group evidenced statistically significant differences between study phases and groups after intervention for all examined variables (p<0.05). In addition, Cohen's D score revealed a significant magnitude effect. An adequate statistical power was also found (1-β = 0.99). Hence, implementing mindfulness meditation programs can potentially mitigate the academic stress levels experienced by university students.
