Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week online mindfulness program (MBSR) can improve emotional intelligence and reduce stress-related physical symptoms in adolescents aged 14 to 18 who have experienced bullying and childhood trauma. About 44 teens are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group or a waitlist. Researchers measure changes in emotional intelligence, psychosomatic symptoms, mindfulness, and bullying exposure before and after the program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a low-cost, accessible way to help bullied teens manage stress and build emotional resilience.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program is delivered online, which may limit engagement or effectiveness for some teens.
