目的：鉴于发展转型对年轻人生活的重要性，以及美国大学生心理健康问题的高发生率，一年级大学生特别容易受到压力和逆境的影响。这项先导性研究评估了正念训练的有效性和可行性，旨在促进一年级大学生的健康和幸福感。对象：109名新生来自宿舍(50%为高加索人，66%为女性)。数据收集工作于2014年11月完成。方法：采用学习呼吸(L2B)计划进行随机对照试验，L2B计划是一种适应大学转型发展任务的普遍正念计划。结果：参与先导干预后，学生的生活满意度显著提高，抑郁和焦虑显著降低。睡眠问题和饮酒后果的影响略有下降。结论：以正念为基础的项目可能是促进健康过渡到大学的有效策略。
Objective: Given the importance of developmental transitions on young adults' lives and the high rates of mental health issues among U.S. college students, first-year college students can be particularly vulnerable to stress and adversity. This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness and feasibility of mindfulness training aiming to promote first-year college students' health and wellbeing. Participants: 109 freshmen were recruited from residential halls (50% Caucasian, 66% female). Data collection was completed in November 2014. Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted utilizing the Learning to BREATHE (L2B) program, a universal mindfulness program adapted to match the developmental tasks of college transition. Results: Participation in the pilot intervention was associated with significant increase in students' life satisfaction, and significant decrease in depression and anxiety. Marginally significant decrease was found for sleep issues and alcohol consequences. Conclusions: Mindfulness-based programs may be an effective strategy to enhance a healthy transition into college.
