| Description | The aim of the evaluation study was to investigate the effect of the implementation of an eight-week mindfulness MFPFW program on the level of emotional regulation, sleep quality, and mindfulness in psychology students (N = 65, M = 16.9%, F = 83.1%) by conducting a series of repeated measures. Sleep diaries and questionnaire instruments used were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15-CZ), administered before the program began, at midpoint, at the end, and six weeks after completion. Results suggest that the FFMQ had a positive effect on sleep quality, mindfulness and cognitive reappraisal and a negative effect on emotional suppression, with the number of days per week that respondents meditated playing a significant role only for mindfulness. There were positive changes in three PSQI subscales (sleep latency, disturbed wakefulness, subjective sleep quality) at the end of the program. In addition to significant differences in sleep quality, mindfulness, and emotion regulation between the first and third measurements, changes occurred between the first and second measurements in all variables studied. Then, during the last four weeks of the program, only mindfulness showed significant positive changes. Data collected six weeks apart from the end of the program showed no significant changes in the variables of interest except for a decrease in the emotional suppression subscale. Whether participants continued to meditate after the program ended played a significant positive role in the mindfulness scale. |
