Effectiveness of an Internet-Based, Self-Guided, Short-Term Mindfulness Training (ISSMT) Program for Relieving Depressive Symptoms in the Adult Population in China: Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of Medical Internet Research February 13, 2025 Tingfei Zhu, Liuyi Zhang, Wenqi Weng et al. 4 citations

A 14-day internet-based, self-guided short-term mindfulness training program based on the Monitor and Acceptance Theory reduced depressive symptoms and improved mindfulness in Chinese adults. In a randomized trial with 205 participants, those in the training group showed significant improvements compared with a wait-list control group, with moderate effect sizes (Cohen d around 0.5 for depressive symptoms and mindfulness). Dropout rates were relatively low (under 40%), and participants reported high acceptance of the format. The program, delivered via the "Hi Emotion" platform, offers a scalable approach to help address the gap between limited mental health resources and high demand in China.

The effects of body scan meditation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Applied psychology. Health and well-being August 1, 2022 Ruochen Gan, Liuyi Zhang, Shulin Chen

A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials found that body scan meditation alone, a single component of standardized mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), has only a small effect on mindfulness compared to passive control conditions (Hedge's g = 0.268). The intervention did not effectively improve health-related outcomes. Attrition rates for long-term interventions were low, but the overall quality of the included studies was low and there was high heterogeneity across studies. These results suggest that a sole body scan meditation is not sufficient to produce meaningful health benefits.
