Abstract: This study explores the effects of online group mindfulness cognitive training on alleviating anxiety among medical students, as well as the mediating role of mindfulness levels in the intervention's effectiveness. Medical students with anxiety symptoms were recruited through online psychological surveys and randomly assigned to either the mindfulness training group or the control group. The training group participated in an 8-week online mindfulness cognitive training program, while the control group received no intervention during this period. Mindfulness levels were measured using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) before and after the training, and changes in anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at baseline, the 4th week, and the 8th week. The results indicate that online group mindfulness cognitive training effectively reduces anxiety among medical students, with increased mindfulness levels playing a significant role in mitigating their emotional distress.
