[Expérience d'une introduction à la pleine conscience chez des personnes vieillissantes à risque de déclin cognitif].

Canadian journal on aging = La revue canadienne du vieillissement June 2, 2026 Andréanne Simard, Isabelle F-Dufour, Sonia Goulet et al.

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are recognized as relevant approaches for older adults at risk of cognitive decline, yet few studies have explored the lived experience of participants with cognitive decline accompanied by anxiety-depressive symptoms. This qualitative study examined the experience of 13 adults aged 55 and older who took part in a group MBI. Semi-structured interviews conducted after the intervention were analyzed inductively to identify emerging themes. Results reveal a three-stage experiential trajectory: initial surprise at the practices, a gradual evolution of their individual and interpersonal experience—especially through the group—and a sense of clarification and satisfaction with the program. The analysis highlights important individual and relational processes, underscoring the need to consider various factors when studying the mechanisms and effects of MBIs in older adults.

Impacts of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on the Psychological and Functional Wellbeing of Patients with Bipolar Disorders

OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine November 5, 2018 Nancy Poirier, Serge Beaulieu, Sybille Saury et al.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) strongly reduced psychic anxiety in people with bipolar disorder, especially those who were anxious or depressed before starting, but had no effect on somatic anxiety. Sleep quality and quality of life improved moderately. A slight increase in depressive, anxious, and manic symptoms was noted at week six of the eight-week program. Participants who completed at least half the sessions showed the benefits, and after treatment, initially anxious participants no longer differed from non-anxious ones.
