Abstract

This review paper investigates the effects of a mindfulness strategy used to reduce anxiety and improve the academic performance of first-year medical and biomedical science students. By monitoring students' anxiety levels and correlating them with academic achievement, the aim is to determine whether practicing a mindful state positively affects students' ability to regulate stress and improve learning performance. This is an essential issue for first-year medical and biomedical science students who have extensive coursework and examination load to achieve a future career in the health industry. High-stress levels are standard among university students and are often a significant disadvantage when expected to perform academically. It is predicted that students practicing the mindfulness strategy will have reduced levels of anxiety and improved academic results compared to the control group. Participants will complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and their academic performance will be monitored throughout the semester. They will then be taught a mindfulness technique and practice it over three weeks. The group will meet once a week to discuss any concerns about the experience. The test group will be compared to a control group, which will continue their normal routine for the semester, along with regular weekly data collection. The test group is expected to have lower anxiety levels and improved academic results compared to the control group, which will show no change.
