Effectiveness and experiences of integrating Mindfulness into Peer-assisted Learning (PAL) in clinical education for nursing students: A mixed method study.

Nurse Education Today 2024 Angie Ho Yan Lam, Lorraine Man Ki Ho, Stanley Kam Ki Lam et al. 13 citations

Nursing students can find clinical learning to be challenging, unpredictable and stressful. To address this problem, this study integrated Mindfulness into Peer-assisted Learning (PAL) for nursing clinical education and investigated the feasibility and effectiveness on improving student participants' emotional reactions, and explored the perception and experience towards the programme. This...

Journal of Psychoactive Drugs 2024 Julia M.k. Freind, Fernando R. Beserra, Bruno S Menezes et al. 9 citations

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders globally, causing severe emotional suffering, reducing life expectancy and increasing the risk of suicide. Recently, the use of dissociative psychedelic substances such as ketamine and esketamine for depressive disorders has expanded treatment options. We sought to analyze, through a systematic review, the existing protocols for...

Effects of Mindfulness Based Interventions in Adults and Older Adults Caregivers of Patients with Early Stage Alzheimer's Disease: A Randomized Pilot Study.

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease 2024 Maria Velia Giulietti, Paolo Fabbietti, Roberta Spatuzzi et al. 6 citations

Many studies have highlighted the effect of training with mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on the psycho-physical rebalancing of patients suffering from various pathologies, and their families. In this study, the effect of a training with mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on quality of life and emotion regulation (depression) was verified in caregivers (CGs) of patients affected...

Understanding the role of the NMDA receptor subunit, GluN2D, in mediating NMDA receptor antagonist-induced behavioral disruptions in male and female mice.

Journal of Neuroscience Research 2024 Chitra Vinnakota, Anna Schroeder, Xin Du et al. 7 citations

Noncompetitive NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonists like phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine cause psychosis-like symptoms in healthy humans, exacerbate schizophrenia symptoms in people with the disorder, and disrupt a range of schizophrenia-relevant behaviors in rodents, including hyperlocomotion. This is negated in mice lacking the GluN2D subunit of the NMDAR, suggesting the GluN2D subunit mediates...

Exploring complex and integrated information during sleep.

Neuroscience of Consciousness 2024 Keiichi Onoda, Hiroyuki Akama 2 citations

The Integrated Information Theory is a theoretical framework that aims to elucidate the nature of consciousness by postulating that it emerges from the integration of information within a system, and that the degree of consciousness depends on the extent of information integration within the system. When consciousness is lost, the core complex of consciousness proposed by the Integrated...

Childhood adversity severity modulates the associations between adaptive psychological changes and amygdala volumetric changes in response to behavioral interventions.

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports 2024 Diane Joss, Junjie Lu, Martin H. Teicher et al. 16 citations

Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) has been shown to have detrimental impact on amygdala structure. Prior research found that adaptive psychological changes after Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) were associated with amygdala volumetric changes. The present study aims to further investigate whether such effects also occur among ACE survivors and whether the effects are unique to MBI. A...

Effects of mindfulness meditation training offered in-person and via a virtual world on self-compassion: A study with U.S. military active duty and veterans.

Work 2024 Valerie J Berg Rice, Paul J Schroeder, Stephen C Allison 5 citations

Mindfulness-based, in-person programs are effective at reducing stress and enhancing resilience in military and civilian samples, yet few studies have examined or compared training offered via real-time, interactive social media. Such a program would have a wider-reach and could include those unable to attend in-person. There is also interest in resolving ambiguity about the effects of...

A brief induction of loving kindness meditation to reduce anti-fat bias.

PLoS One 2024 Kristen M Lee, Bita Ghanei, A Janet Tomiyama 1 citation

Weight stigma is highly prevalent. However, existing weight stigma interventions are only modestly effective at reducing anti-fat attitudes. The current research proposes a novel approach using a loving kindness meditation (LKM). Experiment 1 tests whether random assignment to the LKM intervention reduces explicit and implicit anti-fat bias and increases empathy based on the LKM recipient with...

A Validation Study of the Mindfulness-Based Interventions Teaching Assessment Criteria for Assessing Mindfulness-Based Intervention Teacher Skill: Inter-Rater Reliability and Predictive Validity.

Global Advances in Integrative Medicine and Health 2024 Frederick M Hecht, Rebecca S. Crane, Patricia J Moran et al. 2 citations

Prior data suggests the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: (MBI) Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC) has good inter-rater reliability, but many raters knew teacher experience level. We sought to further evaluate the MBI-TAC's inter-rater reliability and obtain preliminary data on predictive validity. We videorecorded 21 MBSR teachers from academic and community settings. We trained 19...
