Summary

Purpose: This study aims to determine the impact of mindfulness-based stress reduction programs on sleep quality, stress level and heart rate variability of university students Design: The study was planned as an experimental study with a randomized control group, using pre-test, post-test and follow-up test. Hypotheses: H1: The sleep quality level scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to the students in the control group. H2: Students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will decrease their stress level level scores compared to the students in the control group. H3: The heart rate variability of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will be higher than the students in the control group. H4: The sleep quality level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to their pretest scores. H5: The stress level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores. H6: The heart rate variability level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores.
