Integrating Mindfulness Into the Patient-Centered Medical Home (Phase 2) — MINDFUL-PC-2  

Depression Clinical Trial

Official title: MINDFUL-PC: Integrating Mindfulness Into the Patient-Centered Medical Home - A Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Chronic Illness Self-Management and Action Plan Initiation Among Primary Care Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Among primary care patients, compare the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention (Mindfulness Training for Primary Care[MTPC]) vs. a low-dose mindfulness introduction comparator on self-management of chronic illness and illness-related health behavior action plan initiation, as well as on measures related to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Clinical Trial Description

This study builds on a pilot study that investigated the impact of Mindfulness Training for Primary Care on anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic illness self-management in primary care patients receiving care in an urban, community, multi-cultural safety net healthcare system. The current comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial takes place in a larger sample, and investigates the impact of a refined MTPC curriculum on specific aspects of self-regulation such as action plan initiation, while examining potential mechanisms of change, including self-efficacy, perceived control, mindfulness, self-compassion, emotion regulation, and body awareness. Participants randomized to MTPC are compared with participants who are randomized to a low-dose comparator condition and receive a 1-hour introduction to mindfulness with a referral to community mindfulness resources. Outcome assessments are conducted at baseline and study weeks 8-10. ;
