Abstract:
Medical students in Malaysia
face enormous amount of stress that can compromise their medical training. A
brief group Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (b-MBCT/Mindful-Gym) programme
has been developed to help medical students cope more effectively with stress.
The intervention was found to be effective for reducing stress and increasing
subjective well-being among medical students in University Putra Malaysia
(UPM). One of the training methodologies used in the programme,
‘Mindful-S.T.O.P.,’ was particularly popular among the students. The aim of
this paper is to describe the concept and application of this mindfulness-based
psychological tool (Mindful-S.T.O.P.) for stress reduction in medical students.
