The need for further understanding of Mindfulness theory and practical skills is becoming essential for lecturers to apply in their daily work and build a positive learning environment. Additionally, lecturers expressed a desire for more practical training through workshops and hands-on courses to enhance stress management abilities and improve concentration. Furthermore, the need for conducting research on Mindfulness will help lecturers gain a deeper understanding of the impact of this method on education and mental health.
