Effects Of Mindfulness-Based Yoga And Meditation Colorectal Cancer

Effects Of Mindfulness-Based Yoga And Meditation On Sleep Disorder, Faciliatıon And Quality Of Life in Patıents With Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Comparative Study

In many systematic reviews, it has also been emphasized that different cancer groups and a large number of applications are needed in order to obtain definitive conclusions about the effect of various interventions applied to these patients (Smith et al, 2004: Mosher et al, 2017: Fieke, 2015). In addition, in the joint results of these studies, it was stated that there are very few studies supporting the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for CRC patients, and these studies have a limited evidence base, and specifically due to the lack of strong evidence regarding the physiological and psychological difficulties of cancer treatment in the CRC patient group and the practices performed. The level of evidence needs to be strengthened with further studies. Based on these reasons, the various difficulties experienced by CRC survivors and the lack of strong evidence in the systematic analyzes led us to conduct this study.

Effects and Mechanism of Guided Virtual Reality Autogenic Meditation on ICU Sleep

Strategy Establishment of Promoting Sleep Quality and Quantity in Critically Ill Patients: The Effect and Mechanism of Guided-virtual-reality Autogenic Meditation

Background: Sleep disturbance is a common complaint reported by critically ill patients, which may in turn prolong the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and increase the risks of delirium and mortality. Environmental factors, such as noise and light exposures contribute to the development of sleep disturbances in ICU. Hypnotics is the most prescribed treatment for managing ICU sleep; however, it only improves light sleep but not deep sleep, and could not deal with sleep disturbances caused by noise or light exposure. Purposes: To examine the effects of guided virtual reality autogenic meditation on sleep quality and quantity in critically ill adults as well as the possible mechanism through which they provide this alleviation. We hypothesize that critically ill adults undergoing guided virtual reality autogenic meditation (VR) will experience greater alleviations in sleep disturbances in comparison with participants in the eye masks and usual care control group (UC). Methods: The three-year, single-blinded randomized controlled trial will employ a three-arm parallel-group design. A total of 120 critical ill adults will be randomly allocated to the VR, Eye masks, or UC groups in a 1:1:1 ratio (40 participants in each group). For the VR group, all participants will experience 30-min, voice-guided autogenic meditation through head-mounted display device at 10 pm for 2 nights (ICU day 2 to day 4). For the Eye masks group, participants will wear eye mask from 10 pm to 7 am for 3 days. For the UC group, they will receive sleep promotion strategies, including reduced light exposure at night, decreased noise, and cluster nursing care during the study period. Primary outcomes are sleep parameters measured by the Chinese version of Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, Chinese version of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and fitbit with one-lead electroencephalography sensor. Secondary outcomes consist of delirium, moods, and quality of life assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit, visual analogue scale for anxiety, pain, stress, EuroQoL-5D, and cognitive function respectively. Measurement time points are the first day of ICU admission, pre-and post-treatment, and the day of 30 and 180 days after ICU discharge. A generalized estimating equation will be used to test research hypotheses.

Mindfulness Meditation (MBSR) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) - M-PARK

Exploratory Feasibility Study for the Development of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR )in Parkinsonian Patients - MPARK

Non-pharmacological therapies become more important in the management of Parkinson's disease (PD). Among these, mindfulness meditation is the subject of high expectations. This intervention, such as the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction-based (MBSR) stress reduction program, have shown effects on psychological distress, motor and non-motor disorders, and quality of life. However, the data is still very frail and the conditions for practical use are still very uncertain. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of a standardized MBSR program in Parkinsonians patients.

Mindfulness Meditation For Hemodialysis Patients

Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Trait Mindfulness, Perceived Stress, Emotion Regulation, and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation on trait mindfulness, perceived stress, emotion regulation, and quality of life in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Method: An experimental repeated measures design was used among a sample of 74 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at a dialysis center at Jahra hospital, Kuwait. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=37) and control groups (n=37). The experimental group participated in 30-minute mindfulness meditation sessions (three sessions a week for five weeks) held during their hemodialysis sessions. The dependent variables of both groups were measured at baseline, middle of intervention, and end of intervention using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) questionnaire.

Mindfulness-based Intervention for People With Parkinsonian Tremor - MEDITAPARK

Pilot Study of the Ambulatory Monitoring Evaluation of a Mindfulness Meditation Programme in Parkinsonian Tremor

Mindfulness meditation is an approach that has shown interest in treatment of anxiety in Parkinson's disease. This pilot study aims to assess a more specific effect on tremor using Essential Tremor Embarrassment Assessment and inertial sensors allowing monitoring during sessions and in daily life. This study will focus on 20 patients (10 with and without Mindfulness based intervention and will aim to develop the interface and demonstrate proof of concept before setting up a controlled study

Effect of a Daily Meditation Intervention in Student Pharmacists

The Effect of Daily Meditation on Stress, Mindfulness, Well-being, and Resilience in Student Pharmacists

Pharmacy school is a 3-to-4 year intensive program that demands a high level of performance from enrolled students. The fast-paced and challenging curriculum causes stress levels to rise in students. The increase in stress can negatively affect performance in the classroom, as well as affect relationships outside the classroom setting. While some level of stress may be beneficial, the substantial amount of stress experienced by pharmacy students may also negatively impact their quality of life. This proposed study aims to explore the effect a convenient intervention on perceived stress, mindfulness, well-being, and resilience as reported by student pharmacists. Headspace will be used as the main study intervention. This product is a mobile device application (aka, an app) that teaches users how to meditate through guided exercises. It contains a library of different meditation exercises the user can access from their smartphone or tablet at their own convenience. It is our hope that the use of Headspace will enhance the students' ability to practice mindfulness, which will allow them to better cope with stress in school and in future practice. This could translate into improved learning and overall well-being.

The Mindful Media Project

The Mindful Media Project: Can Mindfulness Meditation Reduce for Problematic Internet Use

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is an emerging mental health issue. Research consistently shows that university students are disproportionately vulnerable to experiencing PIU, and that this can be linked with both poorer academic performance and mental health outcomes. Despite these adverse consequences, there has been no research to date on treatments for those experiencing PIU. Preliminary research suggests that one promising candidate is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness is a popular form of brain training that helps develop an ability to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, break compulsive behavioural patterns and make more mindful behavioural choices. The current proof-of-concept study aims to investigate the clinical potential of mindfulness meditation in reducing PIU severity for Australian university students who endorse moderate to severe PIU symptoms.
