: Background Mindfulness-based programmes (MBPs) provide an increasingly popular
approach to improving mental health. Previous meta-analysis suggested that MBPs show promising effectiveness. Objective To evaluate if online MBCT-L (Mindfulness Behavioral Cognitive
Therapy for Life) courses reduce the level of perceived stress and enhance the well-being felt by
university students and academics. Methods A pilot questionnaire survey among 28 participants
in two online MBCT-L courses aimed at determining the level of perceived stress before and
after the course using a standardized PSS-10 scale (Perceived Stress Scale-10) and evaluating the
course using a structured evaluation questionnaire. Finding The results indicate a signifi cant
shift in the majority of participants in the area of well-being and alleviation of perceived stress
associated with studying or working. Conclusions MBCT-L supports changes in the well-being
of university students and academics and reduces the level of perceived stress. Further work is
required to explore how best to sustain improvements.
