Abstract Objectives Mindfulness-based interventions effectively improve mental health among healthcare professionals and foster compassionate care. However, the process of implementing mindfulness and ensuring long-term sustainability within hospital departments remains underexplored. Thus, this study aimed to identify and explore the mental models of healthcare professionals and managers that...

Previous research has shown that preventive counseling for women at high risk of perinatal depression leads to a reduction in the development of perinatal depression and is cost-effective. Barriers of cost, transit, time, and staffing limit accessibility of these services. We examined whether a theoretical, virtual, group, social worker (SW)-led Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)...

Background: Globally, approximately 8.6% of people will meet criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in their lifetimes, with 2.2% meeting criteria for AUD in the past 12 months. In the United States, AUD prevalence is even greater, with 13.9% meeting criteria in the past 12 months. Effective treatments for AUD exist, although most people receive help through mutual support groups (ie,...

BACKGROUND: University students face increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and self-efficacy, which may disrupt autonomic balance. While many mind-body interventions require sustained practice, growing evidence suggests that even a single session can yield immediate benefits. This randomized controlled trial compared the immediate and short-term effects of the brain wave modulation technique...

Medical education has long been acknowledged as a very stressful career path that exposes students to greater chances of anxiety and burnout. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the overall impact of yoga-based volitional breathing (pranayama) interventions on self-perceived stress and anxiety among medical students worldwide. The review analysis was...

Despite growing interest in mindfulness-based interventions for adolescents with chronic pain, the data have not been systematically summarized. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to estimate the effect of mindfulness-based interventions on pain intensity, catastrophizing, acceptance and interference; functioning, quality of life, and anxiety and depression in youth with chronic...
Abstract Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) improves mental health outcomes in adolescents; however, effects tend to be small, and findings have been inconsistent. Engagement (i.e., productive involvement) has been positively associated with outcomes in other types of mental health interventions, suggesting it may play a role in MBI. However, it is unclear how engagement functions in the...
This study used a daily diary method to examine the temporal relationship between distress tolerance (DT), anxiety, and depression during a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI). A total of 83 participants with high emotional distress completed daily diaries of mindfulness, DT, anxiety and depression over one week before, during, and after the intervention. Linear mixed models showed significant...

This research aims to evaluate the effect of the MindKinder adult program (MK-A) on the variables of life satisfaction and positive and negative affect. We also intend to analyse the differential effects in the experimental group depending on the level of previous emotional well-being and previous trait emotional intelligence. A total of 137 university students (pre-service teachers) in their...
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is common and associated with substantial disability, yet evidence-based treatment options remain limited. Because maladaptive attentional processes are central to FND pathophysiology, mindfulness-based interventions may be beneficial. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has strong empirical support across physical and mental health conditions, but...
Chronic pain is a major public health problem. Due to the persistent, costly, and complex nature of chronic pain, there is a need for new safe and effective treatments. Integrative breathwork interventions, or therapeutic styles of conscious breathing, have promise as novel treatments for chronic pain. The primary objective of this proof-of-concept study was to examine the feasibility,...
Introduction: Recent rapid technological advancements and societal changes have dramatically transformed modern life, leading to a significant increase in mental health concerns. Meditation, an ancient practice, has gained considerable attention in recent years for its psychological and neurological benefits. Aim: To compare levels of depression, anxiety and stress between Meditation...
Resilience-the capacity to adapt, recover, and engage dynamically with adversity-has emerged as a central construct for understanding psychological health. Although meditation offers a promising route for cultivating resilience, current scholarship rarely differentiates between the mechanisms of focused attention meditation (FAM) and open monitoring meditation (OMM), thereby obscuring their...
Background: Clinical trials of brief mindfulness interventions (BMIs) for chronic pain frequently report small average effect sizes, which may mask substantial heterogeneity in treatment responses. Rather than testing general efficacy, this exploratory study investigated whether a BMI is associated with concurrently coupled psychological and sensory improvements within individuals, potentially...

Critical care staff face unique stressors, including high patient acuity and intense work environments, leading to high rates of burnout and emotional fatigue. While mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly recognised for reducing stress among healthcare workers, no prior review has specifically examined their impact within critical care settings. To evaluate the effectiveness of...
OBJECTIVE: 'Ego dissolution' refers to a temporary state characterized by diminished self-referential processing, which leads to a breakdown of personal boundaries and an enhanced sense of unity with the environment. Both psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, and contemplative practices, like meditation, have been proposed as mechanisms for modulating the ego. While ayahuasca induces transient...
본고는 석전 박한영의 『백법론회석』에 나타난 유식학과 참선의 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 석전은 1916년 중앙학림 교재로 『백법론회석』을 편찬하면서, 명대 유식학자 명욱의 주석과 더불어 여래장 사상에 입각한 덕청의 주석을 함께 회편하였다. 여기에는 유식학의 이론적 이해를 참선 수행의 실천으로 연결하려는 의도가 들어가 있다. 덕청은 상종(유식)과 성종(여래장)의 긴장 관계를 『대승기신론』의 ‘일심 이문’ 구조로 통합하고, 선종을 교외별전(敎外別傳)으로 위치시켰다. 수행론적으로는 아뢰야식을 ‘불생멸이 생멸과 화합한 것’으로 규정하여 각의(불성)와 불각의(무명)를 함께 갖춘 것으로 보았으며, 심소를 업 생성의 과정으로 재편하였다. 특히 변행심소 5가지를 ‘선악이 최초로 움직이는 찰나’로 파악하고,...
Background: In an era characterized by rapid technological disruption and vocational uncertainty, Career Adaptability (CA) has emerged as a critical meta-competency for university students transitioning into the workforce. While the importance of CA is well-documented, the internal mechanisms that foster it remain under-explored. This research adopts a resource-based perspective to investigate...
