Abstract

The challenges of college life can place considerable stress on students, impacting their academic performance and personal well-being. Academic pressures, such as demanding coursework and the constant pursuit of high grades, can lead to anxiety and depressive thoughts. Meditation is a practice that can enhance students' mental well-being and help them navigate academic challenges. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Nirvana meditation mobile application in reducing academic stress among university students aged 18 to 25. The app offers stress modules, personalized plans, guided visualization exercises, and smart academic stress management features. The research utilized the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) and its analysis tool, incorporating reliability measures like Cronbach's Alpha and Guttman's Lambda2 coefficients. Results indicate the application's attractiveness, innovation, and efficiency strengths, highlighting its potential as a user-friendly and dependable solution. However, there is room for improvement in enhancing the app's clarity. Future work should focus on improving user-friendliness and understanding. This research provides insights for optimizing the user experience and supporting students' well-being in the academic environment.
