Table 4 Scores on Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Self Compassion Scale (SCS), and Compassion Scale (CS), before (i.e., at baseline) and after MTP

From: Determining the feasibility and effectiveness of brief online mindfulness training for rural medical students: a pilot study

  1. LL Lower Limit of 95% Confidence Interval. UL Upper Limit of 95% Confidence Interval
  2. * denotes statistically significant effects at alpha = 0.05
  3. Note: In this study’s context, stress (as measured by the PSS) is an undesired construct; as such, a negative score change (i.e., stress reduction) was desired. Conversely, compassion for self and others (as measured by the SCS and CS, respectively) is desired; accordingly, a positive score change (i.e., increase in compassion) is desired
