Abstract

This study examines the effect of meditation on stress reduction among college students. The increasing prevalence of stress-related issues in academic environments has raised concerns about the mental health and well-being of students. Meditation, particularly mindfulness practices, has been widely studied for its potential to alleviate stress and enhance emotional resilience. This research aims to assess whether regular meditation can reduce perceived stress levels and improve overall well-being in college students. A total of 60 college students participated in an 8-week meditation program, with pre- and post-intervention stress levels measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The results indicated a significant reduction in stress levels following the meditation intervention, with participants reporting improved emotional regulation, focus, and academic performance. These findings suggest that meditation can serve as an effective and accessible tool for managing stress among college students. The study highlights the importance of incorporating mindfulness practices into student wellness programs, offering a low-cost, sustainable approach to promoting mental health in academic settings. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of meditation and its applicability across diverse student populations.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of e-government at the village level and its impact on public service delivery. With the increasing integration of digital technologies in governance, understanding the effectiveness of e-government initiatives is crucial for enhancing citizen engagement and improving service efficiency. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to assess user satisfaction, service accessibility, and transparency in local governance. The findings reveal that e-government significantly enhances service efficiency, with reduced waiting times and streamlined processes, leading to increased user satisfaction. However, challenges such as the digital divide, data privacy concerns, and varying levels of digital literacy among residents present obstacles to full engagement. The study emphasizes the need for targeted investments in digital infrastructure and literacy programs to ensure equitable access to e-government services. By addressing these challenges, policymakers and local governments can harness the full potential of e-government to foster more inclusive and transparent public service delivery, ultimately strengthening community trust and engagement. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on e-government, providing insights into the dynamics of digital governance in rural contexts and highlighting best practices for effective implementation.
