This meditation is practiced by Theravada Buddhists of all ages throughout Thailand. This research investigates how recollecting death influences Thai teenager mental health.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Purposive and convenience sampling methods were used to recruit participants from\u00a0five boarding schools in northern Thailand. Students aged 15\u201318 were invited to participate, and they completed the questionnaires Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Outcome Inventory: Depression Subscale (OI: Depression), and Inner Strength Based Inventory: Meditation (iSBI: Meditation). Moderation analysis was conducted with SPSS ver. 27 and PROCESS ver. 4.2.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The sample comprised 440 students (88.2% female) with a mean age of 16.34\u2009\u00b1\u20090.96. This population had moderate stress (24.08\u2009\u00b1\u20095.04), low depression (3.82\u2009\u00b1\u20093.39), and an \u2018often but not every day\u2019 average meditation frequency (2.92\u2009\u00b1\u20091.38). There were 42 students (10.2%) who practiced death recollection in the past month. As hypothesized, death recollection practice moderated the relationship between stress and depression, indicating those who practiced may have had fewer symptoms of depression due to stress. The moderation effect was significant: B\u2009=\u20090.133, standard error\u2009=\u20090.061, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009.253 to .013 after controlling for the meditation frequency of the population.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The significant moderation effect suggests that death recollection may negatively influence how stress can contribute to the development of depression symptoms in boarding school students. A longitudinal study is recommended to confirm variable interaction across time for assessing death recollection as a causal influence of stress influenced depressive symptoms. This would clarify whether long-term practice strengthens moderation over time.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              <jats:list list-type=\"order\">\n                <jats:list-item>\n                  <jats:p>The recollection of death is observed even among adolescents.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:list-item>\n                <jats:list-item>\n                  <jats:p>Recollection of death is discovered to mitigate depression resulting from stress.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:list-item>\n                <jats:list-item>\n                  <jats:p>Recollection of death is recommended after calming oneself with concentration meditation.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:list-item>\n              <\/jats:list>\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40359-025-03147-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]],"date-time":"2025-07-29T12:32:50Z","timestamp":1753792370000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Death recollection moderates stress-influenced depression in Thai boarding school students"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Justin","family":"DeMaranville","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tinakon","family":"Wongpakaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nahathai","family":"Wongpakaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danny","family":"Wedding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"3147_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3043","DOI":"10.1007\/s12671-022-01967-8","volume":"13","author":"B An\u0101layo","year":"2022","unstructured":"An\u0101layo B, Medvedev ON, Singh NN, Dhaussy MR.

Boarding school administrators have permission from parents upon school enrollment to make healthcare and welfare decisions on behalf of the children.
