Clinical Trial Summary

This project aims to contextualize the delivery of mindfulness training for military spouses and evaluate its effectiveness on measures of executive functions and psychological well-being.


Clinical Trial Description

In addition to psychological and physical health challenges that military service members face, military deployment is known to have deleterious effects on the entire family unit. The January 2010 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reported medical data from over 250,000 wives of deployed soldiers. These women suffered from clinically significant levels of anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and adjustment disorders. Thus, the psychological profile of military spouses sadly parallels that of the military servicemembers. Unfortunately, the effect of deployment on the psychological health in military spouses is largely unstudied, and very few resilience-building programs are available for military families.

Prior research showed that mindfulness training (MT), as a resilience-building program in civilian and military servicemembers, can effectively protect against degradation in of executive functions (i.e., attention, working memory) and benefit psychological well-being over high-demand intervals. While research evidence mounts that MT is beneficial for service members, there is almost no research examining the impact of MT on military spouses' cognitive functioning and psychological well-being.

The present study aims to investigate if MT may successfully benefit cognitive functioning and psychological well-being in military spouses. ;
