Abstract

This study tested the effects of Korean-Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction(K-MBSR)-based cognitive therapy on undergraduate college students' depression, suicidal ideation, and impulsivity. Over a 3­month period, we screened 450 undergraduate college students using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Scale for Suicidal Ideation (SSI), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) and found 22 to be eligible a high level of suicidal ideation. We randomized the participants into either an 8­week K-MBSR-based cognitive therapy group or a wait­list control group. We assessed participants' baseline, 8­week, and 1­month follow­up measures of depression, suicidal ideation, and impulsivity. The K-MBSR-based cognitive therapy group showed a significant decrease in levels of depression and suicidal ideation, as compared to controls, but no significant change in impulsivity. We discussed the significance and limitations of this study as well as suggestions for further research.
