Abstract
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc internationally, domestically, and more specifically, it has significantly affected collegiate student-athletes, since the spring of 2020. The purpose of this study was to determine if a student-athlete focused mindfulness intervention could have an impact on mental health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic return to sports in 36 Division I and Division II women’s basketball student-athletes. A single group pretest-posttest study design utilizing the DASS-21 and two mindfulness interventions was conducted between March 2021 and January 2022. Results showed that participants had significantly less stress post-intervention compared to pre-intervention, p = .019. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in stress change scores by psychologist history, p = .031. Those who had not seen a psychologist had significantly greater change (improvement) in stress scores than those who had a history of seeing a psychologist. In addition, there was a significant difference in change scores between students who were quarantined and those who were not quarantined, p = .042. Those who were quarantined had greater change (improvement) in their stress scores relative to those who were not quarantined. Future research should look at mental health interventions in conjunction with athletic performance, other genders and over the span of one basketball season. Additionally, following up with abnormal mental health screenings from pre-participation exams and implementing mindfulness interventions could be beneficial. Implications for mindfulness interventions should be carefully selected, administered, and can be used to help smaller institutions with limited mental health resources in stressful/ non-pandemic times.
