Abstract
Objective: To assess the feasibility of a brief, self-guided, Internet-based version of the mantram repetition program (MRP) for undergraduate students, a population with mental health challenges and high reliance on Internet-based resources.
Participants: Undergraduate students (n = 60) receiving course credit had a mean age of 20.66 years and primarily identified as female (84.5%) and Asian (55.9%).
Methods: MRP was taught through four video modules. Participants completed module 1 at timepoint 1 (T1), modules 2-4 one week later (T2), and questions about their practice one week following (T3).
Results: Most (88.3%) participants completed all four video modules and 76.7% completed T3 questions. At T3, 80.4% of participants endorsed using mantram repetition, practicing 4.46 days/week and 3.26 times/day on average.
Conclusions: A self-guided, Internet-delivered MRP is feasible for undergraduate students. Further research is needed to establish its utility for managing psychological challenges in college students.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
