Method: 60 students from the National Defense University Political warfare Academy were recruited. In the experimental procedure, they completed self-report measures (Taiwanese version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire and perceive stress scales) and heart-rate variability first, then they were randomly assigned to MBSR training group (n = 30) or control group (n = 30). The experimental group will participate in the 8-week military MBSR course, but the control group will not engage in any manipulation, after the end of the course did post-test. Analysis of covariance was used to examine within treatment group and control. Results: (1)MBSR group significantly improved in Taiwanese version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire. (2)MBSR group significantly decreased in perceive stress scales. (3)MBSR group did not significantly change in HRV. (4)Mindfulness is a mediator between MBSR and the perceive stress. Conclusion: Based on the above, we can see that the military students can significantly improve their mindfulness and the effect of the stress reduction. Therefore, the effectiveness of the military MBSR course can be supported and the reference of the military MBSR courses can be provided in the future. The theoretical and practical implications of the relevant research results will also be discussed in the text.
