First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether adding health and resilience programming—like mindfulness, lifestyle medicine, and coping plans—into the regular coursework of occupational therapy students can improve their well-being. About 130 students will take part and fill out surveys before and after the program to measure changes in lifestyle, self-esteem, mindfulness, anxiety, and depression. The goal is to see if these programs help students feel better and handle stress more effectively.
