Developing a mindfulness program for pre-clinical medical students in Indonesia: a mixed-methods study on suitability and appropriateness by Denish Gunawan, Lia Antico, William Nardi, Judson Brewer

“…Qualitative analysis were analyzed using framework analysis to explore themes such as participants’ first impressions, key lessons learned, beneficial aspects, daily integration of mindfulness practices, and barriers and facilitators to participation. Dual coding was used to enhance trustworthiness. Results Findings revealed three key insights: (1) a moderate and rising level of interest (mean range: 5.75 to 6.6), supported by qualitative feedback indicating increased engagement following iterative refinement; (2) The program was perceived as highly relevant to students’ academic and personal challenges, particularly around stress, perfectionism, and communication; and (3) Participants reported a high likelihood of applying what they learned, such as mindfulness practices like S.T.O.P. meditation and journaling, into their daily routines.in their daily lives. …”
