Mindfulness Modification Training to Reduce College Student Anxiety in Dealing with Thesis

Each student will experience anxiety when working on a thesis. In this study, students writing their theses in the sixth semester of the Faculty of Psychology at Diponegoro University will be tested to discover if modified mindfulness can lower anxiety levels. The participants in this study were 15 students on 6th semester from the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Diponegoro. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A) pretest and posttest anxiety scale was employed as the data collection tool. One group test experiment serves as the study methodology. It is possible to infer from the Paired Samples T-test findings that the variance of the data is homogeneous or equal because there are a known number of p values that are 0.425 > 0.05. The value of 0.959 > 0.05 or 0.672 > 0.05 is well recognized in assumption checks. It can be said that the pretest data is usually distributed as a result. The study's findings support the idea that students writing theses experience much lower anxiety levels when they participate in a modified mindfulness training program that incorporates progressive muscle relaxation. To boost the effectiveness and usage of mindfulness modification to lessen anxiety in students working on their final project, this research has to be improved.
