This study aimed to investigate the effect of a six-week focused meditation-training on stress (using Lipp´s Inventory of Stress Symptoms) and dispositional mindfulness (using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire - Brazilian version) in college students from southern Brazil. A nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the experimental group and the waitlist control group before and after the training. Compared with controls, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements for stress, and increases in mindfulness scores, particularly for the facets describe and non-react. The results suggest that meditative practice may be an alternative for interventions aiming to tackle stress and enhance mindfulness skills in the university context.Intervenções meditativas têm sido utilizadas nas universidades para reduzir estresse. Este trabalho objetivou investigar o efeito de um treino de meditação focada de seis semanas no estresse (utilizando o Inventário de Sintomas de Estresse da Lipp) e mindfulness disposicional (utilizando o Questionário das Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness versão Brasileira) em universitários. Um ensaio controlado não randomizado comparou um grupo experimental e um grupo de lista de espera antes e após a intervenção. Apenas o grupo experimental reduziu a presença de estresse nas fases resistência, quase-exaustão e geral. Apresentou, ainda, aumento significativo de mindfulness nas facetas descrever, não reagir e no escore total. Conclui-se que treinos meditativos podem configurar uma alternativa para intervenções visando ao manejo de estresse e aprimoramento de habilidades de mindfulness nas universidades.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2019-10-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/27911Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 34 (2018)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 34 (2018)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 34 (2018)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 34 (2018)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
