The Effectiveness of a Mindfulness Induction as a Buffer Against Stress Among University Students With and Without a History of Self-Injury.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to explore the impact of an online mindfulness induction on state mindfulness and state stress in university students with versus without a history of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI).
Results Summary
The study investigated whether brief mindfulness inductions could buffer acute stress differently in students with a history of NSSI compared to those without, but specific results were not detailed in the abstract.

Stressful experiences are abundant in university and students with a history of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) may be hyper-reactive to stress. While brief mindfulness inductions have been proposed as a buffer against acute stress, whether they function differently in students with a history of NSSI remains in question. This study sought to explore the impact of an online mindfulness induction on (a) two facets of state mindfulness (i.e., mind and body) and (b) state stress, following a stress induction task, in university students with versus without a history of NSSI. Participants were Canadian university students with (
