Three evaluation periods were used. Specifically, immediately before the intervention (T0), immediately after the 4-week intervention (T1) and 4 weeks after the intervention (T2).

Results

A 4-week mindfulness breathing program was conducted with 27 university students. Subjective evaluations using questionnaires administered after the Uchida-Kraepelin test (FFMQ, CD-RISC, and STAI) confirmed significant increases in mindfulness and resilience scores. The planned objective assessments using heart rate and skin conductance were discontinued due to insufficient analyzable data. The subjective evaluation was completed, and the results were presented at a conference.

Baseline Characteristics

The participants comprised 27 university students (23 females [85.2%], 4 males [14.8%]) with a mean age of 20.6 years (SD = 1.28). All participants voluntarily enrolled, had no prior experience with mindfulness, and provided informed consent to watch psychoeducational videos and engage in daily breathing exercises at home.

Participant flow

Poster recruitment was conducted at three educational institutions, and informed consent was obtained from 27 interested students. All participants completed the intervention (psychoeducational video viewing and 4-week mindfulness breathing practice) and participated in assessments at all three time points. There were no dropouts or withdrawals.

Adverse events

No serious adverse events occurred during the study period. No participants reported physical discomfort, psychological distress, or academic disruption.

Outcome measures

The following self-report questionnaires were used as subjective outcome measures:
- Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ)
- State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
- Profile of Mood States (POMS)
- Resilience Scale (Ishida, 2017)
- Anger Coping Strategy Scale (Ishida, 2017)
Free-text experiential records were collected as qualitative data and analyzed using a cloud-based text mining tool. The planned objective assessments using heart rate and skin conductance were discontinued due to insufficient analyzable data.
