Filter by:Family caregivers were recruited through a combinations of strategies including a larger caregiving project and its partners, memory clinics, community outreach, online advertisement, flyers and brochures and word of mouth. After the telephone screening, eligible individuals were scheduled for an in-person baseline meeting at which they received additional information about the study, signed a consent form, completed baseline outcome measures and then were randomized to the intervention or control group using an online randomization program (http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/index.cfm). All participants completed outcome measures immediately post-intervention for the intervention group and at 2 months for the control group and all participants completed follow-up outcome measures at 3 month following the baseline assessment. Participants in the intervention group completed a practice log which was designed to track their daily practice of mindfulness at home. The study was reviewed and approved by the Mount Sinai Hospital Research Ethics Board.
The primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a profound school teacher training programme to teach a mindfulness-based programme (.b) in Danish schools on the pupils self-reported mental well-being at seven months. The secondary aims are to evaluate i) the effectiveness of the profound school teacher training programme to teach the .b-programme in Danish schools on the pupils self-reported mental well-being post intervention (at five months).
This study will include any participant who registered, and plans to attend the Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. In 2019, this course was offered in: Los Angeles in March, Philadelphia in April and Toronto & Dallas in November. This study has been involved in every IECO Course since 2019 and is still active today. Beginning in August 2021, investigators will recruit for the August Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. Investigators anticipate that this study can include up to 5,000 study participants. Participants would attend this course and complete the pre-modules regardless of whether or not they participate in this study.
This feasability study aims to compare the 6-month success rate of a systematic proposal for non pharmacological interventions targeting the subject's empowerment among slackline, mindfulness, adapted physical activity, self-hypnosis, and Qi Gong versus usual care in the management of chronic pain.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death among women around the world. Integrative oncology, together with conventional medical treatment, has proven to be an important support for the control of cancer symptoms, improvement of quality of life, and contribution to the overall patient health, providing an integrated patient care both physically and emotionally. METHODS: 75 stage II-III breast cancer survivors were randomized (according to age, tumor stage and receptor status) into 2 groups: intervention and control. Within the intervention group (IG) a diet, exercise and mindfulness intervention was performed, while the control group (CG) did not receive any sort of treatment, during 6 months. Passed (at the beginning and end of the research) questionnaires concerning general health, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and BR23), and diet (Mediterranean diet adherence test and 24-h-recall) and a blood and urine sample was collected to analyze general biochemical variables. RESULTS:
The aims of this parallel two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an audio-recorded mindfulness-based intervention and to assess whether the intervention results in a clinically meaningful difference in physical activity compared to the control condition
Epilepsy is a debilitating condition characterized by spontaneous, unprovoked seizures. Up to 80% of children with epilepsy (CWE) may face cognitive, psychiatric, and/or behavioral comorbidities with significant unmet mental health needs. Mindfulness-based interventions may provide an ideal vector to target unmet mental healthcare needs in patients with epilepsy and their families. The investigators propose the Making Mindfulness Matter© (M3) program as an intervention to improve health related quality of life and mental-health for CWE and their parents. M3 is live-online parent and child program that incorporates mindful awareness, social-emotional learning skills, neuroscience, and positive psychology. This pilot RCT is needed to refine the implementation of the intervention to families with a child with epilepsy, and collect information pertaining to the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention in preparation for a subsequent multi-centred trial across Canada. Note: Due to COVID-19, the format has been modified for online delivery (from community-based) and the intervention has been restarted.
The purpose of this pilot study is to find out whether mindful drinking/eating activities can improve quality of life and help make it easier for people on dialysis to follow their fluid restrictions. The pilot study is a randomized controlled trial with an intervention group and a wait list control group, randomized by cohort days. The intervention occurs during dialysis sessions once a week for 4 weeks. During each intervention session, participants are guided through a mindful eating exercise focused on foods recommended for controlling thirst (e.g., hard candy, frozen grapes) and a mindful drinking exercise. Participants are asked to practice mindful drinking/eating at least once daily at home.
Physical inactivity has reached pandemic proportions and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Of particular concern is that most middle to older age adults fall far short of recommendations for health enhancing physical activities. This research takes a novel approach to tackling this problem by combining mindfulness with behavioral strategies in a unique 'Mindful Movement' program offered collaboratively with the YMCA.
The study is aimed at comparing the differential effects of two widely used standardized meditation programs: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) in general population samples. To address this goal, the effects will be measured by self-report questionnaires belonging to different domains (mindfulness, compassion, well-being, psychological distress, and psychological functioning) as well as information processing measures (i.e., Attentional Blink), and psychophysiological measures (EEG and EKG). Changes will be assessed immediately after finishing the 8-week programs and through several inter-session assessments. Data analysis will include the mean change scores differences, as well as novel network analysis procedures to assess topological reorganization of constructs derived from the programs.
