Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the long-term effects of targeted mindfulness and self-compassion interventions on stress reduction among distance learning students.
Randomized controlled trial involving 167 university students, with final analysis on 98 participants.
Participants received one of two interventions over 28 days through daily digital exercises.
Measures of mindfulness, self-compassion, and perceived stress were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up.
Both intervention groups showed significant short-term improvements in mindfulness and perceived stress (p < 0.001).
Only the targeted intervention group maintained reduced perceived stress at three-month follow-up (p < 0.01).
The targeted program utilized Cognitive Load Theory and Spaced Repetition Theory to enhance learning and retention.
