The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Stress and Psychological Well-being:

A Randomized Controlled Trial

Stress is a significant problem that affects many people worldwide, and can lead to a range of negative
outcomes such as decreased well-being, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness meditation has been shown
to be an effective intervention for reducing stress and improving psychological well-being.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress
and psychological well-being.

Participants were recruited from a university campus and were randomly assigned to either a mindfulness
meditation group or a control group. The mindfulness meditation group received eight weekly 90-minute
sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Measures of stress, anxiety, depression, and
psychological well-being were taken at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up.

Results showed that the mindfulness meditation group had significantly lower levels of stress, anxiety,
and depression post-intervention and at the 3-month follow-up compared to the control group. Additionally,
the mindfulness meditation group had significantly higher levels of psychological well-being post-intervention
and at the 3-month follow-up compared to the control group.

Further analyses revealed that the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress and psychological
well-being were mediated by changes in mindfulness, suggesting that the intervention was effective
in increasing mindfulness, which in turn led to improvements in stress and psychological well-being.

Overall, this randomized controlled trial provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness
meditation as an intervention for reducing stress and improving psychological well-being. The findings
highlight the importance of promoting mindfulness meditation as a viable tool for managing stress and
improving well-being.
