Summary

Undergraduate students partook in an augmented, brief, online mindfulness and self-compassion-based program (Mind-OP+) to facilitate perceptions of connectedness. Participants were randomized into Mind-OP+ or waitlist control groups. It is hypothesized that connectedness at baseline will be negatively associated with mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety) and stress, and positively associated with self-compassion and dispositional mindfulness. Further, it is predicted that participants in the Mind-OP+ group will experience increases in connectedness compared with participants in the waitlist control condition. This study could provide support for a brief, convenient program to increase perceived connectedness, and thereby provide an option for students seeking protective factors for mental health and general resiliency.

BEHAVIORAL

Mind-OP+

Mind-OP is an online program designed to cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion developed by Beshai and his team. Mind-OP is self-guided, with four modules administered at a pace of one module per week (four weeks total). The version used for this study, Mind-OP+, is five weeks total, containing an extra module focused on connectedness. The modules contain psychoeducational videos, guided audio meditations, goal-setting and motivational interviewing inspired exercises. Participants also have opportunities to engage with meditations and other exercises embedded within each module. The first module (Week 1) introduces the concept of mindfulness. The second module (Week 2) focuses on attention to bodily sensations and thoughts. The third module (Week 3) introduces the concept of self-compassion. The fourth module (Week 4) focuses on the self-kindness component of self-compassion. The fifth module (Week 5) focuses on the concept of connectedness.
