Facilitators, Barriers, and Cultural Appropriateness of Mindfulness-Based Interventions Among Saudi Female University Students: Qualitative Study
Findings and recommendations aim to enhance the feasibility, acceptability, engagement, and effectiveness of MBIs among Saudi university students, particularly female students. However, whether they do in fact achieve these aims is unknown. Future research should endeavor to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed recommendations and explore the enablers and barriers to MBI engagement in a broader population of Saudi students.
