The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on the Suicidal Ideation, Depression, and Subjective Well-being in High School Students with Suicidal Tendencies
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness meditation program on the identified suicidal ideation, depression and subjective well-being among female high school students with noted suicidal tendencies. The participants to the study were freshmen from a girls’ high school in Seoul, South Korea and were recruited based on their depression and suicidal ideation scores on the AMPQ-Ⅱ. Among the volunteers, there were 17 students with BHS scores above 10 or with a reported past suicidal attempt who were selected. The participants were randomly assigned to either a treatment group (n=10) or a waiting-list control group (n=7). The treatment group received a 60-minute mindfulness program once to twice per week, over a 6-week period of time. All participants to the study completed the following scales at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up. The major findings were as follows. The treatment group showed noted decreases in suicidal ideation and negative emotions compared to the waiting-list control group. There were no significant differences that were found between the groups at post treatment on depression, life satisfaction, expectation of life satisfaction, or positive emotion. At the 4-week follow-up analysis, the decreases in suicidal ideation and negative emotions were maintained in the treatment group. These results suggest that the use of mindfulness meditation can help to decrease suicidal ideation and negative emotions among the high school students with exhibited or identified suicidal tendencies. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
