Abstract The number of mindfulness-based interventions has proliferated in the last decade as accessible evidence-based practices to improve children’s mental health in schools. However, some studies also suggest that mindfulness programs do not have added values compared to other mental health promotion interventions. These differences in effectiveness can partly be due to the lack of...

BACKGROUND While traditional mindfulness-based interventions demonstrate effectiveness in improving mental health outcomes, their delivery methods face significant challenges related to accessibility and engagement. Geographic barriers to trained facilitators, time constraints for in-person sessions, and participant dropout rates of 15% to 30% due to perceived monotony limit intervention reach...

AbstractBackground Youths are particularly susceptible to depression, as they face a critical but vulnerable phase of cognitive development. Cognitive interventions for youth depression are therefore warranted. Mindfulness, considered as the third wave of the cognitive revolution, shows great potential to address risk factors of depression, especially suppression and low self-esteem. Therefore,...

Background: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has demonstrated efficacy in preventing depression relapse and alleviating residual symptoms. However, evidence for its effectiveness in patients currently experiencing depressive episodes—particularly when delivered online—remains limited. This study evaluated the therapeutic effects and dynamic symptom-level mechanisms of online MBCT in...

For many nurses, their work environments are highly stressful with long working hours and a lot of emotional demands predisposing them to the risk of mental health problems, burnout, psychological distress, and reduced job satisfaction. For many nurses, coping with such stressful environments can be...

Abstract Background: Studies have confirmed the rapid antidepressant action of ketamine in depressive episodes. Nevertheless, a standardized procedure for the delivery of ketamine infusion in individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression, particularly in terms of infusion frequency and total dosage, remains undetermined. In addition, an efficacious ketamine regimen for persistent...

Abstract Ketamine has rapid-onset antidepressant activity in patients with treatment-resistant major depression (TRD). The safety and tolerability of racemic ketamine may be improved if given orally, as an extended release tablet (R-107), compared with other routes of administration. In this phase 2 multicentre clinical trial, adult patients with TRD and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating...
