Abstract Objectives With mindfulness programs and practice research increasing, measures have been developed to assess mindfulness-related constructs. However, to our knowledge, there has not yet been a measure to examine the quality of mindfulness meditation practices. This study aimed to develop and validate the Mindfulness Meditation Practice Quality Scales (MMPQS) in a clinical population....
Objectives: Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT) is an evidence-based, structured, transdiagnostic program. This study investigated three interrelated questions: (a) which characteristics predict initial enrolment suitability following intake assessment. (b) which baseline characteristics predict clinical improvement during MiCBT, (c) which characteristics predict treatment...
This systematic review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in treating depression, enhancing interoceptive awareness (IA), and whether IA mediates this relationship. In August 2024, a comprehensive literature search was conducted in web-based medical and psychological databases, including PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Scopus, following the Preferred...
This study aims to investigate the barriers and facilitators to meditation in the general population. This research is significant because understanding these factors can inform the design of more effective public mental health interventions and support the integration of meditation into daily life. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted on the qualitative component of wider survey...
Interoception, the ability to feel the body's internal sensations, is an essential aspect of emotional experience.

The manuscript presents a comprehensive...

This meta-analysis was conducted to fill that gap. A literature search was conducted in 4 databases. Articles were eligible if they reported on randomized controlled trials of MBIs for people with acute pain...
