The Feasibility of a Brief, Internet-Based Mantram Repetition Program for Undergraduate Students
Journal of American College Health, v72 n8 p2380-2386 2024
Objective: To assess the feasibility of a brief, self-guided, Internet-based version of the mantram repetition program (MRP) for undergraduate students, a population with mental health challenges and high reliance on Internet-based resources. Participants: Undergraduate students (n = 60) receiving course credit had a mean age of 20.66 years and primarily identified as female (84.5%) and Asian (55.9%). Methods: MRP was taught through four video modules. Participants completed module 1 at timepoint 1 (T1), modules 2-4 one week later (T2), and questions about their practice one week following (T3). Results: Most (88.3%) participants completed all four video modules and 76.7% completed T3 questions. At T3, 80.4% of participants endorsed using mantram repetition, practicing 4.46 days/week and 3.26 times/day on average. Conclusions: A self-guided, Internet-delivered MRP is feasible for undergraduate students. Further research is needed to establish its utility for managing psychological challenges in college students.
