University students often experience emotional distress that originates from inside or outside academia, and for which treatment would be welcome. Research has shown that mindfulness can help people to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Furthermore, a thinking style that focuses excessively on negative content (repetitive negative thinking; RNT) has consistently been found to be a mediator of the effects of mindfulness on decreasing stress, anxiety and depression. With this study, we want to 1) investigate the effects of mindfulness on stress, anxiety, depression, and RNT in Indonesian sample of undergraduate students and 2) investigate the mediating role of RNT.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an app-based mindfulness training program in an Afro-descendant population. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What changes, if any, does the app need? - Is it effective in reducing anxiety among this population? Participants will be asked to: - Use an app-based mindfulness training program daily - Complete online surveys at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete focused interviews via Zoom at baseline and 2 months post-treatment initiation - Complete daily voice diaries via Zoom
Individuals diagnosed with autism are also often diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Therefore, having useful strategies to manage stress and anxiety may be particularly helpful for autistic individuals. Mindfulness-based interventions, delivered in-person as well as those offered remotely online, have been found to lower stress and anxiety. Although in-person mindfulness training has been found to be helpful for autistic individuals, there is little research that has studied remote app-based mindfulness training in autistic adults. This study examines whether a six-week structured intervention, using a mindfulness app, lowers anxiety and stress in autistic adults. Participants were randomly assigned either to an intervention group, which started the intervention immediately, or a wait-list control group, which participated in the same intervention program six-weeks later. Findings will provide important information about the potential for remote app-based mindfulness training to lower stress and anxiety in adults diagnosed with autism.
This research was planned to examine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program applied to parents with autistic children on the level of depression, anxiety, stress and hopelessness.
The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Demonstrate the usability and acceptability of a smart watch in parents to remotely monitor stress responses or symptoms in individuals participating in prevention or treatment interventions. 2. Examine the association between heart rate variability (HRV) data and momentary self-reports of stress by parents. 3. Conduct a feasibility study to establish the effectiveness of wearables and apps to improve emotion regulation in the short term (minutes, hours) and concomitant social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes over the longer-term (weeks).
Undergraduate students partook in an augmented, brief, online mindfulness and self-compassion-based program (Mind-OP+) to facilitate perceptions of connectedness. Participants were randomized into Mind-OP+ or waitlist control groups. It is hypothesized that connectedness at baseline will be negatively associated with mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety) and stress, and positively associated with self-compassion and dispositional mindfulness. Further, it is predicted that participants in the Mind-OP+ group will experience increases in connectedness compared with participants in the waitlist control condition. This study could provide support for a brief, convenient program to increase perceived connectedness, and thereby provide an option for students seeking protective factors for mental health and general resiliency.
Purpose: It was aimed to compare the effectiveness of online psychological first aid intervention on stress and psychological resilience in volunteers who took part in earthquakes. Method: This is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of online psychological first aid intervention on the stress and resilience levels of volunteers who took part in the earthquake.
