Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of a mobile app-based mindfulness training program in collegiate student-athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is a app-based mindfulness program feasible for use with collegiate student athletes? - What, if any, benefits are seen in the mental wellbeing of collegiate student athletes following mindfulness training? Participants will use the Calm app to complete semi-structured program of 21 mindfulness sessions over 6 weeks. Participants will complete each 8-15 minute sessions at a location and time of their choosing.
Aim: It was planned to evaluate the impact of mindfulness training on interpersonal style and perceived social competence in adolescents.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy compared to usual care for stroke survivors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.
The aim of this pioneer study was to evaluate the efficacy (heart rate value, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, cortisol levels, BIS monitoring, patients' anxiety) of Mindfulness Meditation as a sedative technique during dental implant surgery.
Purpose: Nowadays, it is seen that there is an increasing interest in mindfulness-based therapies. Such practices can be beneficial by contributing to the personal and professional development of nursing students. In the study, the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation applied to Turkish nursing students on defense mechanisms and mindfulness was evaluated. Method: The research was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a control group. The population of the study consisted of 96 newly enrolled students in the nursing department of a foundation university, and the sample consisted of a total of 72 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. In the sample, while 33 students formed the intervention group, 39 students formed the control group. Mindfulness- Based Psychoeducation was given online in 16 sessions in 8 weeks. Data were collected using the Defense Style Questionnaire and the Awareness Scale.Percentage distributions were used in the analysis of the data, t-Test and Chi-Square test were used in the comparison of the intervention and control groups, and the paired-samples t-Test was used in the comparison of the intervention and control groups within the group.
The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week self-help online mindfulness-based intervention on mental and physical well-being in comparison to the waitlist control group. This study can provide support to the utility of self-help online mindfulness-based intervention, which may advance our understanding of the causal pathways between mindfulness-based intervention and well-being and guide future research. It is hypothesized that participants in the experimental condition will show better mental well-being, physical well-being, and better improvement in mindfulness and related attributes compared with participants in the control condition. Upon completing the screening and pre-evaluation questionnaire, participants will be randomly assigned to either mindfulness group or waitlist control group. They will complete three sets of questionnaires in total which will be administered before the intervention (pre-test assessment), right after the 4-week intervention (post-test assessment), and four weeks after the intervention (follow-up assessment), respectively. In the experimental group, participants in the mindfulness group will engage in a 4-week online mindfulness course. The self-help online mindfulness course includes education about mindfulness, guided meditations (e.g., mindful breathing, mindful eating, mindful walking, body scan, acceptance, choiceless awareness and disengaging from thoughts exercise), and guidance on using informal mindfulness skills in day-to-day life. Readings, audio and videos are included to explain the concept of mindfulness and overcome common difficulties associated with mindfulness practice. In the waitlist control group, participants are to refrain from access the online course until they finished the follow-up questionnaire. All participants will be able to access the materials in an online platform after they have completed the research.
Purpose: The fact that young people starting university during the pandemic period continue this academic period with distance education increases the stress they experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation program applied with distance education on the psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, and stress levels of youth. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The population of the study consisted of 120 newly enrolled students in the nursing department of a foundation university, and the sample consisted of a total of 59 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. In the sample, while 29 students formed the intervention group, 30 students formed the control group. Mindfulness-Based Psychoeducation Program (MBPP) was applied to the intervention group twice a week for 4 weeks. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB), and Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) were used as measurement tools. Further, t-test, Mann Whitney U analysis, and Wilcoxon signed-row test were used in the analysis of the data.
The main goal of this single-arm pre-post intervention study is to see if an adapted mindfulness program can improve emotion regulation among youth aged 15-19 years who attend an alternative school. Participants will complete a baseline survey package using an iPad. They will then receive an adapted version of the 6-session Learning to BREATHE Program as part of a course they are taking at their school. Students will again complete a survey package within 2 weeks of completing the program. The investigator will compare baseline and post-intervention survey responses to see if the program improved emotion regulation, as well as several secondary psychosocial and behavioral outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if a mindfulness-enhanced positive affect induction (MPAI) works well to reduce pain intensity and pain unpleasantness from a cold water pain test in undergraduate college students who do not endorse ongoing medical or mental health diagnoses. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the MPAI a feasible and acceptable psychological technique for managing brief pain? - Does the MPAI work well to reduce pain intensity and unpleasantness from experimentally induced brief pain, compared to those using a breathing meditation or those instructed to respond naturally. - Does using the MPAI work well to improve confidence in self-managing brief pain? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their sleep, pain beliefs, and emotions after consenting to participate and at the end of the study session. They will then be randomized to either: - Use the MPAI for managing pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). - Use a breathing meditation for managing pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). - Respond naturally to pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). Researchers will compare the MPAI group to the breathing meditation and natural response groups to see if the MPAI group reports less pain from the cold water test and
This project aims to investigate the MBSR feasibility and its effects in old Portuguese-speaking adults living in Luxemburg. This study will be a two-arm randomized-double blinded-controlled study, including 90 healthy older adults. The MBSR will be conducted in groups over a total of eight weeks, incorporating weekly meetings, a retreat of 4 hours, and extra activities to be practiced at home. The active control condition will be a program with different components such as painting, nutrition information, physical activity, cognitive enhancement, risk factors for dementia, and health promotion. Neuropsychological assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately after and one-month post-intervention. The researchers will also do pre-post salivary cortisol and resting heart rate variability analyses, as surrogate measures to assess stress level.
