Background: Adolescence is a stage of human development that occurs in between childhood and adulthood. Behavioural and emotional pattern experienced across adolescence can spiral into positive or negative outcome processes. Objectives: To assess the pre-test and post-test level of stress and find out the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy, and to associate the post-test stress score with their selected demographic variables. Methods and materials: A pre-experimental design was chosen. Non probability purposive sampling technique used to select the sample of 90 school students. Perceived stress scale was used to assess the stress level. Results: effectiveness of the study point was estimate of 18.57% and interval estimate was 16.40% to 20.72%. Mean difference with 95% CI. Discussion: Dawn Bazarko et al (2013) explained that the mindfulness was decreased the stress level (p<0.001). This was supported to my study. So, mindfulness had significant to reduce stress level among the adolescent students. Conclusion: Statistical significance was calculated by using chi square test and student independent t-test. So, mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy had significant impact on reducing stress among the adolescent students. Mindfulness therapy is safer and more effective intervention in all settings.
