Mindful clicks: Transforming university teachers' mental health through brief online intervention

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examined the effects of a 2-week online mindfulness-based intervention on university teachers' mental health. We hypothesized that the intervention would enhance mindfulness and subjective well-being while alleviating depression, anxiety, and perceived stress, and that these benefits would persist at a 30-day follow-up. A total of 141 university teachers participated in the study. The results supported all hypotheses, showing significant improvements in mindfulness and subjective well-being, as well as reductions in depression, anxiety, and perceived stress immediately postintervention. Importantly, these positive effects were maintained at the 30-day follow-up assessment. These findings suggest that brief online mindfulness interventions can effectively promote mental health among university teachers, with benefits persisting beyond the intervention period. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of accessible, online mindfulness programs for enhancing mental health in academic settings.
