Summary
AI-generated from the abstractDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, meditation and mindfulness-based interventions may help manage psychological distress in settings like prisons, quarantine, and lockdowns. A systematic review of relevant literature suggests these practices can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, though evidence is limited by small sample sizes and varied methodologies. The theoretical proposition underscores the need for further rigorous research to confirm benefits and guide implementation in high-stress environments.
