This study examined the effects of a college mindfulness course on vital-signs and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) scores. Two independent groups of 20 students were enrolled in the mindfulness course during the Fall 2018 () and Spring 2019 () semesters. Blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate were recorded before and after in-class mindfulness meditations several times throughout each semester. FFMQ scores were recorded at the beginning and conclusion of each semester. Statistical analyses indicated that 20 minutes of mindfulness meditation significantly decreased respiration rate (both trials) and heart rate () for female students. There were significant changes in the FFMQ mean scores for "non-react," "observe," "act aware," and "non-judge." These results suggest that mindfulness meditation may be beneficial for students to enhance their well-being. Recommendations are provided to further examine the implications of consistent mindfulness practices for college students.
本研究考察了大学正念课程对生命体征和五因素正念问卷（FFMQ）评分的影响。2018 年秋季（）和 2019 年春季（）学期，两组各有 20 名学生独立参加了正念课程。在每个学期的多次课堂正念冥想前后，记录血压、心率和呼吸率。在每个学期的开始和结束时记录 FFMQ 分数。统计分析表明，20 分钟的正念冥想显著降低了女性学生的呼吸率（两次试验）和心率（）。“非反应”、“观察”、“有意识行动”和“非评判”的 FFMQ 平均得分均有显著变化。这些结果表明，正念冥想可能有益于学生提高幸福感。为了进一步探讨大学生持续进行正念练习的影响，我们提出了一些建议。
