Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescents with chronic conditions often experience high levels of stress, anxiety and depression and reduced quality of life. Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) have been found to improve emotional distress in clinical and non-clinical populations. Recent reviews suggest that MBIs are a promising technique to support adolescents with a chronic condition in managing their symptoms and ultimately enhance their quality of life. To test the effects of an MBI on emotional distress and quality of life and delineate the underlying mechanisms, the You.Mind! study uses a randomised staggered within-subjects design. 30 adolescents with a chronic condition (taking drop-out into account) will be randomised to a baseline phase of 14 to 28 days followed by an MBI, consisting of 4 online group sessions and online support spread over 8 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed by short, repeated measurements throughout the baseline, training, and follow-up phases and by standardized questionnaires and experience sampling measures before randomisation, at post-intervention and 3-months follow-up. Analysis will be based on general linear modelling and multilevel mixed-effects modelling. The investigators hypothesize that a MBI can help adolescents with a chronic condition to reduce their symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, and increase their quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

Once a pool of 15 participants has been enrolled, they will be randomised to one of three MBI groups, which start their training with half a week time lag. Within each group, participants will be randomised to a baseline phase of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 or 4 weeks, with 3-4 days between starting points of individual participants. Thus, the baseline phase will start at different time points for participants within the same group to enable them to start the intervention simultaneously while having baseline phases of varying length. Participants from different groups may begin their baseline phase at the same time while their intervention starts at a different time point. The same procedure will be repeated for the second pool of 15 participants. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
