Participants in the intervention group will receive VR mindfulness intervention, consisting of four face-to-face sessions (twice a week for two weeks). During the first week, the interventionist will teach and guide the participant face-to-face. During the second week, participants will be required to practice VR on their own for self-help.

Participants in this group will receive a mindfulness exercise guided by the interventionist twice a week for two weeks.

Participants in the control group will not receive mindfulness or mindfulness plus VR.

A single mindful stretching exercise provides a conscious stretch of VR scenario. The implementation of VR exercises will be performed by the interventionist who have received training in the application of VR scenarios and have extensive experience in VR research.

A 10-item self-report instrument that measures the degree to which events are appraised as stressful and the frequency of perceived stressful situations. Students will be instructed to report the frequency of perceived stress over the past month from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very Often). Total scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress.

A 39-item self-report instrument that measures levels of mindfulness, including five facets: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience and non-reactivity to inner experience. Students will be invited to indicate on a 5-point Likert scale the degree to which each item is generally true for them, ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate higher levels of mindfulness.

Participants in the VR mindfulness group will be asked to provide qualitative feedback via a semi-structured interview. The interview questions focused on eliciting the participants' view about the VR experience, facilitators and barriers for VR-based mindfulness practice, and the positive and negative features of VR, which may help or hinder the mindfulness practice.
