abstract = {Objectives Higher education student musicians face high physical, psychological, and emotional demands affecting their
well-being and academic experience. This study examined the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the so-called
CRAFT program, based on mindfulness, yoga, positive psychology, and emotional intelligence, to improve psychological
well-being, psychological distress, emotional regulation, and physical flexibility amongst tertiary education student
musicians.
Methods Using a single-arm pre-post study design, student musicians (n = 25) at a royal conservatory of music in Spain
followed a 25-week CRAFT program that was curricularly implemented during the academic year 2018/2019, once a week
for 50 min. The outcome measures included were the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Subjective Psychological
Well-Being Subscale (SPWS), the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Depression Anxiety and Stress
Scale (DASS-21), and the Sit and Reach Test (SRT).
Results Paired samples t-test and practical significance analyses revealed significant improvements for the total scale of the
FFMQ (g = 0.28), the Observe (g = 0.44) and Describe (g = 0.38) subscales of the FFMQ, the SPWS (g = 0.32), the Reappraisal
subscale of the ERQ (g = 0.43), and the SRT (g = 0.39). A similar pattern of results was observed in a filtered sample
(n = 15) when excluding participants simultaneously engaged in yoga/meditation activities other than the CRAFT program.
Conclusions These results indicated that the CRAFT program is a promising intervention for improving mindfulness skills
and health and well-being states and abilities amongst higher education student musicians. Further research is needed to
substantiate these findings and extend them to similar settings and populations with complex psychophysical concerns.},
