Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of mindfulness- and self-compassion-based interventions for reducing psychological distress among university students, focusing on anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms. The review synthesizes data from 49 studies involving over 5,000 participants to assess treatment effects and potential predictors of change. While findings indicate moderate-to-large effects for stress reduction, the authors note limitations including methodological biases and heterogeneity across the included trials.
