AI Meditation Apps: Role in Easing Stress & Enhancing Well-being of Final Year University Students

Abstract

This research delves into the persistent issue of Stress faced by Final-year university students studying B.Pharmacy, architecture, and design, disciplines known for their precise academic demands. The study aims to explore the effectiveness of AI meditation apps in reducing Stress among the students. The research utilizes a cross-sectional methodology involving 97 final-year students selected randomly from universities offering these courses out of which 38 of them were facing High Stress. Through the implementation of the Stress Scale (SS-LVNS) to gauge stress dimensions and the utilization of the Headspace app as an intervention tool for a subset of high-stress participants, the study seeks to analyze the relationship between AI meditation app usage and stress reduction. Initial findings emphasize the heightened stress levels experienced during this essential academic phase, and Mediation Apps were used in order to reduce the stress among those students. Statistical analyses aim to provide empirical evidence supporting the potential role of AI meditation apps in improving the mental well-being and academic performance of these students by reducing stress.
