Online mindfulness-based interventions may offer adults a means to cope with stress, cultivate greater resilience and well-being. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an online mindfulness program designed to improve mindfulness, well-being, perceived stress, and resilience. Thirteen participants were recruited from an ... read moreeight-week online mindfulness program. Six participants were followed across eight weeks through a presurvey, postsurvey, and eight weekly surveys. Results showed improvements in mindful awareness/acceptance and perceived stress, with significant improvements in well-being, resilience, and frequency of mindfulness practice, from one time/week up to four-six times/week. Findings suggest online mindfulness may be a feasible intervention to influence habits and routines and serve as a coping strategy to promote well-being, resilience, and decrease stress.
