Filter by:Randomized controlled trial comparing a coached, app-based mindfulness intervention versus a no-intervention control condition. Primary outcome: adolescents' reports of affect as measured with ecological momentary assessment (EMA) at post-intervention. Participants will include 120 youth ages 12-17 years old.
The aim of this randomized, waitlist controlled trial is to examine the efficacy of the Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT©) in reducing psychological distress (i.e., stress, anxiety and depression) and burnout symptoms while improving psychological well-being medical students. The second goal of the study is to examine whether mindfulness and compassion-related variables as well as emotional-cognitive emotional regulation processes mediate the psychological distress and well-being changes. The effects of the CCT© program will be measured by means of self-report questionnaires involving different domains (mindfulness, compassion, distress, and well-being measures) at different time points (pre-intervention, inter-session assessment, post-intervention, 2-month and 6-month follow-up).
This research study is aiming to explore whether an online mindfulness programme is accessible and supportive for first time mothers who has a child who is less than 12 months old.
Mindfulness and exercise are both widely used to improve mental health and well-being. Some people find that these activities also improve their ability to focus. This study aims to find out whether mindfulness and light exercise could be similarly effective in improving mental wellbeing and engagement at work. The study further investigates the cognitive processes (e.g., memory and attention skills) that might improve as a result of mindfulness and exercise.
Our primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a teacher training programme to teach mindfulness as part of regular classroom teaching in the total population of students in Danish upper secondary schools and schools of health and social care, respectively, on students' self-reported mental health at six-month follow-up. Our secondary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the teacher training programme to teach mindfulness in a vulnerable subgroup of students on their self-reported mental health at three and six months after baseline.
The purpose of this evidence-based practice project is to evaluate the feasibility of providing a relaxation mindfulness meditation and an expressive digital arts activity among clinical staff at Dana Farber Cancer Institute .
The COVID-19 outbreak is having an impact on the well-being of healthcare workers. Previous reports on pandemics show that such an impact may last beyond the time of the outbreak. Mindfulness-based interventions help healthcare professionals to reduce stress and may foster resilience and recovery, although they have never been tested in a context such as the current one. This single-arm trial explores the acceptability, safety and usefulness of an on-site, brief Mindfulness-based intervention to reduce stress for front line health workers during a crisis.
Medical students and medical residents are subject to increased stressors throughout their education. There is increased depression, anxiety, burnout, and distress in medical trainees compared to the general population. Globally, roughly 3 out of 10 medical students experience anxiety. A recent study also found that almost 3 out of 10 medical trainees experience depression or depressive symptoms and approximately 1 out of 10 have suicidal thoughts. All of this leads to poorer academics, increased dropout rates as well as reduced empathy and quality of care in affected trainees. Mindfulness programs are increasingly being used in medical schools to help deal with increased levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout. Several studies have looked at medical students, medical residents, and various other healthcare professionals. These programs have been found to reduce depression, anxiety and stress while significantly improving mood, well being and mindfulness. Although in-person mindfulness programs have shown several benefits, there are limitations to its use in medical programs. A lack of time, flexibility, accessibility as well as the issue of cost, impact the uptake of in-person mindfulness programs. A potential alternative to this is online mindfulness programs. To date, there is limited research regarding medical students and online mindfulness programs. With that being said, studies focussed on other populations and online mindfulness have shown reductions in depression, anxiety and stress with improvements in mindfulness and mood. The study being proposed involves providing online mindfulness to medical students and residents in an 8-week program that consists of 8, 1-hour sessions with a mindfulness coach. Participants will be enrolled through informed consent. All participants will be given pre and post participation questionnaires to examine the impact of online mindfulness on anxiety, depression, stress and burnout. The results of this research may lead to future studies looking at the impact of online mindfulness practice for medical trainees and might also help open up the possibility of offering such programs in medical schools.
Anxiety, depression and stress are common during pregnancy. These have been found to negatively impact mother and child outcomes. When anxiety, depression, and stress are present in pregnant women, it is therefore important to manage them to improve the outcome of the mother and her child. Although pregnancy itself has been shown to increase anxiety, depression and stress, these issues are further elevated in high-risk pregnancy groups. Mothers at risk of preterm delivery (less than 37 weeks gestational age), have been found to have higher rates of depression, anxiety and stress compared to uncomplicated term pregnancies. In addition, anxiety, depression and stress symptoms themselves increase the risk for preterm delivery, creating a vicious cycle for this high-risk group. Mindfulness is a tool that has been during pregnancy to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress. Many studies have found mindfulness to be an appropriate management option in normal term pregnancies. To date, there have been no studies that have looked at Mindfulness as a tool for mothers admitted due to risk of preterm delivery. This study will explore the impact of teaching mindfulness skills to inpatient mothers at risk of preterm delivery and studying its effects on maternal depression, anxiety, and stress. This study involves providing Mindfulness strategies during the mother's inpatient admission for the risk of preterm delivery for four consecutive weeks. Participants will be enrolled through informed consent. All participants will be given pre and post participation questionnaires to examine the impact of mindfulness on anxiety, depression and stress. The participants will also be encouraged to maintain a weekly mindfulness log. The results of this research may lead to future studies looking at the impact of mindfulness practice for high-risk pregnancies. This will also help open up the possibility of offering such courses for inpatient and outpatient high-risk pregnancies in the future.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a mindfulness coaching program was efficacious at reducing work stress, improving psychological and physical health outcomes, and improving work outcomes. The target population is employed adults (18 years and older) working in the industries of media, consulting, and healthcare.
