Abstract  

The objective of the study is to illustrate the potential advantages for university students. The focus of this study was Bayburt University students’ mindfulness. We have highlighted the effects on mental health, emotional regulation, and the efficacy and cultural contexts of mindfulness techniques. This article sought to investigate the impact of conscious awareness on mental, spiritual, and physical health by reviewing existing research. Duyan and colleagues (2022) utilized a 5-point Likert scale, specifically the “Situation Awareness Scale,” which they adapted for use in Turkey. The WHO in 2021 set forth the translation and adaptation of this scale, which consists of 21 items and two sub-dimensions. The MAXQDA program qualitatively assessed data collected from the Google form to investigate the impact of conscious awareness on mental, spiritual, and physical health. The total estimation approach utilized the responses and their frequency of occurrence to classify and rank the objects. The results demonstrated no significant differences in understanding levels across the program (p = 0.835). We used VOSviewer to identify five historical process clusters in the literature review. Standardizing procedures, practices, personal domains, and social support is advisable in academia for students to effectively manage stress and gain exposure to cultural characteristics.

Keywords: Mindfulness, awareness, Bayburt University.

ÖZ

Çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencileri için potansiyel farkındalık ve bilinç durumlarının etkilerinin vurgulanmasıdır. Mevcut araştırmaları inceleyerek bilinçli farkındalığın zihinsel, ruhsal ve fiziksel sağlık üzerindeki etkisini Bayburt Üniversitesi öğrencilerinin zihinsel sağlık, duygusal düzenleme ve farkındalık tekniklerinin etkinliği ile kültürel bağlamları üzerindeki etkilerini vurgulamayı amaçladık. Duyan ve diğerleri (2022), Türkçe kullanıma uyarlanan “Durum Bilinç Farkındalık Ölçeği” olan 5 noktalı bir Likert Ölçeği, 21 maddesi ve iki alt boyutu, 2021’de yayınlanan DSÖ önerileri doğrultusunda çevrilmiş ve uyarlanan olçek kullanımıştır. MAXQDA programı ile bilinçli farkındalığın zihinsel, ruhsal ve fiziksel sağlık üzerindeki etkisini incelemek için Google formundan toplanan verileri nitel olarak değerlendirdi. Kullanılan toplam tahmin yaklaşımı, nesneleri sınıflandırmak ve sıralamak için yanıtları ve bunların oluşma sıklıklarını kullandı. Sonuçlar, program boyunca anlama düzeylerinde anlamlı farklılıklar göstermedi (p = 0.835). Literatur incelemesinde beş tarihsel süreç kümesi VOSviewer ile gozlendi. Akademide, öğrencilerin stresi etkili bir şekilde yönetmesi ve kültürel özellikler ile uyumlu prosedürlerin, uygulamaların, kişisel alanların ve sosyal desteğin standartlaştırılması onerilmektedir.
