The Effect of Animation-Guided Mindfulness Meditation on the Promotion of Creativity, Flow and Affect

Frontiers in Psychology May 26, 2022 Hao Chen, Chao Liu, Fang Zhou et al.

Animation-guided meditation, compared with audio-guided meditation, significantly increased mindfulness and creativity levels while reducing cognitive load over an 8-week intervention. Mindfulness had both a direct positive effect on creativity and indirect effects through flow and positive affect. The study involved 95 participants recruited from a creative industrial park, randomly assigned to animation (n=48) or audio (n=47) guided meditation sessions three times per week. Animation proved more effective than audio as a meditation guidance tool, likely because it lowers cognitive demands and improves cognitive ability, making it easier for people without meditation training to achieve a mindful state.

Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Doctors’ Mindfulness, Patient Safety Culture, Patient Safety Competency and Adverse Event

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health March 1, 2022 Chao Liu, Hao Chen, Xinyi Cao et al.

A randomized controlled trial with 91 doctors in a Chinese hospital found that an 8-week mindfulness meditation program improved mindfulness, patient safety culture, and patient safety competency, and reduced adverse events compared to a waiting control group. The control group showed no significant changes. The authors conclude that mindfulness meditation is a simple and effective intervention for improving patient safety.
