| contents | <p>The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness practices in enhancing concentration and attention among university students. A quasi-experimental technique was employed to assess concentration and attention before and during the implementation of the mindfulness practice. A total of 130 university students from three distinct universities provided verbal consent to participate in the study. The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) was used in the pre- and post-intervention phases of the study to find out the level of concentration in students. During the pre-intervention phase, we identified 42 students with low MAAS (15 score). Students were categorised into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group administered the technique of mindfulness for two consecutive weeks. After applying the intervention, MAAS was again calculated for both groups. The results indicate a statistically significant difference in the mean MAAS between the pre- and post-intervention periods for the experimental group (p < 0.001). The results conclude that mindfulness techniques improve the level of concentration and attention in the students in the form of increasing MAAS. This technique should be applied by students who have concentration problems.</p> |
