Outline of Final Research Achievements

【Research Plan】1) Select and examine stress management interventions 2) Implement stress management 3) Collate and analyze data
【Results】Upon examination of the interventions as described in 1) of the research plan, a mindfulness-based intervention was selected. With regard to items 2) and 3), while the intervention was partially implemented, the data were not collated and analyzed. This was because ① participants declined to participate due to personal reasons and ② the research was suspended due to COVID-19. The measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 meant that entry into research facilities was heavily restricted, which made it impossible to recruit participants and implement the intervention. Participants were recruited after the restrictions were eased; however, it was not possible to have the participants gather together.
