Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training improved psychological resilience, posttraumatic growth, life satisfaction, and mindful attention awareness, and reduced depression, anxiety, and PTSD intrusive symptoms among medical students at a military college. A total of 372 students completed questionnaires before, after, and one month following the intervention; a control group did not receive MBSR. The MBSR group showed significant improvements not seen in controls, and most gains were partly maintained one month later. The findings suggest MBSR can benefit mental health in this high-stress population.
