Background:

  • University student mental health is a significant public health and educational challenge.
  • Preventive, low-threshold interventions within academic settings are limited.
  • This study addresses the need for accessible mental health support for vulnerable undergraduates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the feasibility and acceptability of a Dao Yin-based dance/movement course.
  • To assess preliminary outcome signals for psychological and physical well-being.
  • To explore the potential of culturally grounded practices in campus mental health.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.
  • Thirty-eight Chinese undergraduates with elevated distress completed a 16-session Dao Yin course.
  • Quantitative (SCL-90, physical status) and qualitative (focus groups, narratives) data were collected.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in psychological distress (SCL-90 total score).
  • Significant improvement in perceived physical status.
  • Qualitative themes included enhanced body-mind awareness and self-regulation.

Conclusions:

  • A Dao Yin-based course is feasible and acceptable for psychologically vulnerable students.
