For this research project, the investigators will develop and refine an online mindfulness-based intervention, the Mind Space Application, grounded in the principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR; Kabat-Zinn, 2003) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT; Segal et al., 2002). The program is designed to cultivate nonjudgmental awareness of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors among university students (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). In addition, it aims to enhance participants' understanding of the interrelationships among cognitions, emotions, affective experiences, and behaviors that contribute to psychological distress, including stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.\n\nThe intervention incorporates core mindfulness practices delivered via an online application, including body scan exercises, sitting meditation, and mindfulness-based movement for relaxation. Furthermore, participants will be guided to develop cognitive awareness and adaptive responses to internal and external stressors, with particular emphasis on recognizing and managing automatic thoughts (wandering mind), negative thoughts, and irrational or maladaptive cognitions. Through this process, participants are encouraged to cultivate more rational, flexible, and positive thinking patterns.\n\nThe researchers anticipate that this program will enhance mindfulness skills and, in turn, contribute to reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among the study participants.\n\nThe effectiveness of the Mind Space application will be examined across both short-term and long-term periods. Short-term effects will be assessed at baseline and immediately post-intervention (8 weeks), while long-term effectiveness will be evaluated at a 6-month follow-up. Outcomes in the intervention group will be compared with those in a control group. The primary outcome variables include mental health indicators-stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms-as well as levels of mindfulness among Thai university students.

Although mediators and moderators of the link between perfectionism and well-being have been identified, the direct clinical utility of these findings has not been a focus. The Perfectionism and Coping Processes Model - Explanatory Feedback Intervention (PCPM-EFI) draws on previous findings and individually analyzes participant responses to perfectionism measures and online daily questionnaires of stress, coping, and mood over 7 days. The EFI provides an individualized slideshow presentation that is delivered in a single 45-60 minute session by a student research assistant to address how stress and coping patterns trigger and maintain negative affect and (lower) positive affect in the participant's daily life. A recent waitlist controlled feasibility trial compared the PCPM-EFI condition with a waitlist control condition over 4 weeks in 176 university students with higher SC perfectionism, with individualized feedback delivered one-on-one by student trainees in-person or remotely through videoconferencing. The feasibility of the individualized analyses of each participant's daily data was supported by identifying daily trigger patterns, maintenance tendencies, strengths, common triggers, and best targets for reducing negative mood and increasing positive mood across several stressors for each participant. Participant ratings indicated that the comprehensive feedback was coherent and functional. Participants in the EFI condition, compared to those in the control condition, reported increases in empowerment, coping self-efficacy, and problem-focused coping, as well as decreases in depressive and anxious symptoms. Between-group effect sizes were moderate-to-large. There were reliable improvements in empowerment and depressive symptoms for 56% and 36%, respectively, of participants in the EFI condition. These findings demonstrate the broad applicability, conceptual utility, and effectiveness of the PCPM-EFI for self-critical perfectionistic individuals. Given these promising findings, research is needed to examine the utility of customizing daily emotion regulation findings, and the complementary effects of providing meaningful feedback on well-being.\n\nThe present study will build on the promising findings of the PCPM-EFI by using a 7-day daily diary methodology to test a complementary EFI on perfectionism and emotion regulation processes (e.g., self-compassion, mindfulness, experiential avoidance, rumination, reappraisal) delivered online through videoconferencing in a sample of university students with higher self-critical perfectionism. Based on the Perfectionism and Emotion Regulation Processes Model (PERPM), the PERPM-EFI follows the same structure as the PCPM-EFI to provide individualized analyses drawn from previous findings. The results of a pilot study of 12 university students with higher SC perfectionism suggest that the PERPM-EFI is broadly applicable, conceptually useful, and effective. Specifically, despite the small sample size, participants reported increases in empowerment, mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional self-awareness, as well as decreases in depressive and anxious symptoms. The present study will use a randomized control design to examine whether the PCPM-EFI plus PERPM-EFI can better improve well-being, relative to providing no feedback, the PERPM-EFI alone, or PCPM-EFI alone in the context of a 4-week longitudinal study with three time points in a sample of 180 university students. The four conditions will be: (a) waitlist control condition, (b) PCPM-EFI, (c) PERPM-EFI, and (d) PCPM-EFI plus PERPM-EFI. It is hypothesized that all three EFI conditions will yield better outcomes than the waitlist control condition. It is also hypothesized that the combined PCPM-EFI plus PERPM-EFI condition will be superior to the PCPM-EFI condition and PERPM-EFI condition on empowerment (primary outcome) and secondary symptom outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, negative affect, positive affect). It is also expected that participants in the PCPM-EFI plus PERPM-EFI condition and PCPM-EFI condition will exhibit larger increases in coping self-efficacy and problem-focused coping than participants in the PERPM-EFI condition. On the other hand, it is hypothesized that participants in the PCPM-EFI plus PERPM-EFI condition and PERPM-EFI condition will exhibit larger increases in self-compassion, mindfulness, and emotional self-awareness than participants in the PCPM-EFI condition.

Baduanjin is a gentle form of Qigong that combines slow and rhythmic movements, breathing awareness, and mental focus. It has been practiced for centuries in China and has recently gained attention worldwide as a complementary therapy for improving mental, physical, and cognitive health.\n\nUniversity students are an important group to study because they often experience high levels of stress due to academic pressure, economic uncertainty, social expectations, and concerns about the future. These factors can increase vulnerability to problems such as anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, and sleep problems. While many studies have explored long-term non-drug interventions, there are still very few trials investigating immediate, short-term benefits of Qigong in young adult populations.\n\nPrevious research has shown that Baduanjin Qigong can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while also improving mood and physical health. For example, studies with college students have reported reductions in anxiety and depression, improvements in body mass index, lung function, and overall well-being after regular Baduanjin practice. Meta-analyses suggest that Baduanjin is especially effective in lowering stress compared to other traditional exercises. Some studies even found that just one 60-minute Qigong session can significantly reduce anxiety and improve mood, as measured by standard psychological tools. These findings suggest that Qigong can work not only as a long-term therapy but also as a rapid relief method in stressful situations.\n\nIn Turkey, most Qigong studies have focused on older adults or patient groups, showing benefits such as improved balance, reduced risk of falls, and better sleep quality. However, there are almost no experimental studies on the acute (short-term) psychological and cognitive effects of Qigong in young adults. This study aims to fill that gap.\n\nWhat will happen in this study?\n\nThe study will recruit occupational therapy students.\n\nEach participant will attend a single 60-minute Baduanjin session.\n\nThe design is double-blind, randomized, and crossover, which means that participants and evaluators will not know which condition they are assigned to, and each participant will experience both the Qigong session and a control condition on different days.\n\nA short \"wash-out\" period will separate the sessions to ensure accurate results.\n\nWhat will be measured?\n\nParticipants' anxiety, mood, and reaction time will be tested before and after the Qigong session.\n\nAnxiety will be measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y1).\n\nMood will be measured using the Profile of Mood States (POMS).\n\nReaction time will be measured using a computerized test.\n\nWhy is this important?\n\nThis study will help us understand whether a single Qigong session can provide immediate psychological relief and improve mental focus for university students. If effective, Qigong could be considered a simple, low-cost, and accessible complementary practice to support student well-being in academic and daily life.
