Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue analizar los efectos de un programa breve
de mindfulness adaptado al contexto del aula, en relación con el nivel
de mindfulness (MAAS), evitación experiencial (AAQ-II), ansiedad
(STAI) y satisfacción vital (SWLS). La muestra estuvo conformada por
115 estudiantes universitarios. Tras la participación en el programa, los
estudiantes aumentaron significativamente los niveles de satisfacción vital
y ansiedad estado, no se encontraron diferencias en el resto de variables.
Sin embargo, el aumento de la satisfacción vital se relacionó con el
aumento del nivel de mindfulness al final del programa (coincidiendo
con el inicio de los exámenes). En conclusión, un programa breve de
mindfulness mejora la satisfacción vital, aun en un período de alto nivel
de ansiedad como es el periodo de exámenes.
The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the effects of a brief mindfulness program adapted to the academic context, to acknowledge the influence on the level of mindfulness (MAAS), experiential avoidance (AAQII), anxiety (STAI) and life satisfaction (SWLS). The sample consisted of 115 college students. After participating in the programme, students showed significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and state anxiety and no differences were found in mindfulness, experiential avoidance and trait anxiety. However, the increase in life satisfaction was related to the increased level of mindfulness at the end of the program (which concurred with the beginning of the exams). In conclusion, a brief mindfulness program improved life satisfaction even in a period of high anxiety, such as the exams period.
