Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) can seriously affect the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (MBSR) has been increasingly used in the treatment of breast cancer patients to reduce psychological distress and promote emotional and physical health. This review aims to provide an updated assessment of the role of MBSR in reducing CRF and sleep quality...
The effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in enhancing the quality of life and mental health of older adults is of interest. A quasi-experimental design with 60 participants was used, with an experimental group undergoing MBSR and a control group receiving routine care. Results showed a significant positive correlation between improved quality of life and psychological...
To systematically evaluate the impact of mindfulness-based interventions on insight and stigma in patients with schizophrenia. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on insight and stigma in schizophrenia patients were retrieved from databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane...
