According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress-related chronic diseases are the main source of death in developed countries. During the last decade, e-mental health, telepsychology or telepsychiatry interventions are showing its growing potential due to the gradual global adoption of the internet and mobile phone technologies. A significant number of studies have concluded that mindfulness helps to reduce physical and psychological symptoms of stress related to various health concerns and that it is a psychological skill that can be trained. The purpose of this online research study is to gather the participants' socio-demographics as well as stress and mindfulness data during an online mindfulness training program. Sustained attention and the state of mindfulness experienced in single meditation sessions are also tracked and stored. Correlational analysis yielded to a statistically significant relationship between high scores in stress and low scores in mindfulness facets (p < .001) and between state and trait aspects of mindfulness (p < .01).
根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，与压力相关的慢性疾病是发达国家主要的死亡原因。在过去十年中，由于互联网和移动电话技术在全球范围内的逐渐普及，电子心理健康、远程心理学或远程精神病学干预正显示出越来越大的潜力。大量研究得出结论，正念有助于减轻与各种健康问题相关的压力的身体和心理症状，并且它是一种可以训练的心理技能。这项在线研究的目的是在一个在线正念训练项目中收集参与者的社会人口统计学信息以及压力和正念数据。单次冥想课程中体验到的持续注意力和正念状态也会被跟踪和存储。相关分析得出，压力高分与正念各方面低分之间存在统计学上的显著关系（p <.001），正念的状态和特质方面之间也存在显著关系（p <.01）。
