OBJECTIVE
Evaluate student effects of participating in an undergraduate academic course, Art and Science of Human Flourishing, that was offered in a synchronous, virtual format during the Fall 2020 semester at three universities.
PARTICIPANTS
Three combined cohorts of undergraduate students from three universities ( = 168).
METHODS
A pre/post/5-month follow-up, propensity-score matched evaluation was conducted. Measures assessed attention skills, social-emotional skills, flourishing, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality.
RESULTS
Relative to comparisons, students in the course reported significant improvements in proximal outcomes related to mindfulness, compassion, and common humanity, as well as decreases in depressive symptoms. Improvements in distal outcomes of flourishing and depressive symptoms were significant at post-course but did not maintain significance at five-month follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS
The academic study of human flourishing and contemplative education offers a promising and unique approach to supporting undergraduate mental health and well-being, even in virtual settings.
目的
评估学生参与一门本科课程“人类繁荣的艺术与科学”的效果，该课程于2020年秋季学期以同步虚拟形式在三所大学开设。
参与者
来自三所大学的三个本科学生联合群体（n = 168）。
方法
进行了一项前后/5个月随访、倾向得分匹配评估。评估的指标包括注意力技能、社会情感技能、繁荣程度、抑郁症状和睡眠质量。
结果
与对照组相比，参加该课程的学生在与正念、同情心和共同人性相关的近端结果方面有显著改善，抑郁症状也有所减轻。在课程结束时，繁荣和抑郁症状的远端结果有显著改善，但在五个月的随访中未保持显著。
结论
对人类繁荣的学术研究和沉思教育为支持本科学生的心理健康和幸福提供了一种有前景且独特的方法，即使是在虚拟环境中。
