Emerging adulthood (ages of 18-30 years) is a critical developmental period characterized by mental health challenges, particularly for college students who experience distinct mental health issues. Mindfulness-based approaches have been associated with mental health benefits. This study aimed to assess the mental health and wellbeing of college students with qualitative data obtained via their participation in a mindfulness exercise. We analyzed the sentiments and concerns of college students nearly a year into the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The results led to the development of four major themes: a source code of the COVID-19 pandemic, assessments of mindfulness and wellbeing, emergent concerns, and coping strategies. The findings from this paper can inform combined internal medicine and pediatrics (Med-Peds) providers' efforts to improve the mental and physical health outcomes among emerging adults.
新兴成年期（18至30岁）是一个关键的发育阶段，其特点是存在心理健康挑战，对于经历独特心理健康问题的大学生而言尤为如此。基于正念的方法已被证明对心理健康有益。本研究旨在通过大学生参与正念练习所获得的定性数据，评估他们的心理健康和幸福感。我们分析了在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行近一年时大学生的情绪和担忧。结果形成了四个主要主题：COVID-19大流行的根源、正念与幸福感评估、新出现的担忧以及应对策略。本文的研究结果可为内科与儿科联合（Med-Peds）医疗服务提供者改善新兴成年人的身心健康状况提供参考。
