The State- and Trait-Level Effects and Candidate Mechanisms of Four Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Practices: Two Exploratory Studies.

Mindfulness January 1, 2023 Shannon Maloney, Christina Surawy, Maryanne Martin et al. 9 citations

Four specific mindfulness practices from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (body scan, mindful movement, breath and body, and befriending) produced similar state- and trait-level improvements in self-compassion, mindfulness, decentering, interoceptive awareness, and psychological quality of life among 160 adults from the general population. After a single session, state-level effects were observed across all candidate mechanisms and outcomes except decentering, with effect sizes ranging from 0.27 to 0.86. After two weeks of daily practice, trait-level improvements occurred in psychological quality of life and most mechanisms (effect sizes 0.26 to 0.64). No practice proved superior to any other. Changes in mindfulness, self-compassion, decentering, and body listening were linked to better psychological quality of life and more self-led practice.

A randomized clinical trial of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for women with irritable bowel syndrome-Effects and mechanisms.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology February 7, 2020 J. Henrich, Bergljot Gjelsvik, C. Surawy et al.

A 6-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy adapted for irritable bowel syndrome (MBCT-IBS) reduced IBS symptoms and improved quality of life in female patients compared with a waitlist control. The therapy appeared to work by reducing maladaptive illness cognitions such as visceral anxiety sensitivity and pain catastrophizing, and by shifting self-referential processing toward less bias toward illness and greater nonjudgmental awareness.
