A randomized clinical trial of an app-based mindfulness intervention (Lift) for ICU survivors suggested improvement in mental health symptoms; however, participants' perceptions of the intervention and its influence on their recovery is unknown. We sought to understand ICU survivors'...
Mindfulness meditation has been studied for its many health benefits, yet the neural mechanisms that facilitate these benefits are still opaque. The present review examines adaptive attention processes and associated dynamic brain networks (e.g., executive control network, default mode network) that are engaged during mindfulness meditation, demonstrating emerging evidence of durable...

Objective: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show promise in managing chronic pain but often require substantial time commitments, leading to high attrition and concerns about acceptability. This meta-analysis evaluated attrition rates in MBIs for chronic pain and examined moderators contributing to participant withdrawal. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched relevant...
Adjustment Disorder (AjD) is a common stress-related condition, yet evidence-based interventions remain scarce. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) targets transdiagnostic mechanisms such as cognitive fusion and low self-compassion, which may be particularly relevant for AjD. This randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of a brief, guided, asynchronous internet-delivered MBCT...
Job satisfaction and psychological well-being are critical factors for productivity in nursing homes. This research investigated the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) on the job satisfaction and psychological distress levels of Turkish care workers for older adults in a nursing home. A pretest-posttest randomized experimental design was carried out with 62...
