Summary

This study tests whether an 8-session mindfulness-based compassionate living program can help university students with painful periods feel less stress, less pain, and more in control. About 68 students will either take the training or receive no intervention. Researchers will measure pain, stress, self-efficacy, and self-compassion before and after the program.
