Abstract:

Mindfulness-based interventions use meditation and other learning exercises to help individuals become more aware of their current physiological and emotional experiences. Benefits of practicing mindfulness include an increase in positive psychological outcomes (e.g., psychological well-being, emotion regulation) and a decrease in negative psychological outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depression). The vast majority of studies focus on younger rather than older adults—setting the stage for the current study, which involved delivering a five-session mindfulness-based intervention to older adults (i.e.,

*LITERATURE REVIEW* Abstract Background: Insomnia is an increasing public health epidemic, affecting healthy, sub-clinical and clinical populations. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the most evidence-based treatment endorsed by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) which provides guidance to health and social services in England. Research has demonstrated, however, that CBT-I has low or uncertain efficacy within various populations including those with coexisting health problems and clinical diagnoses. Furthermore, CBT-I is not accessible to most people due to

Abstract:

Losing a loved one can lead to bereavement grief. It is often accompanied by anxiety, profound sadness, sleep disturbance and lingering depression. Prolonged grief can affect the ability to function properly, through overall reduction in cognitive function. Being able to find effective interventions early on in the grieving process for the bereaved is essential in preventing disorders associated with prolonged sorrow. Mindfulness research has shown that it can improve well-being and a variety of conditions such as stress, anxiety, worry, depression and disturbed sleep. But the research into mi

BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization, long-term illness will account for almost three-quarters of global deaths by 2020. Evidence supports the use of both self-management and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for those who live with long-term illness. While this research is promising, a major barrier with traditional MBIs is the amount of time they require (eight weeks) and the necessity of a trained specialist.

Abstract:

Trait absorption, defined by Tellegen and Atkinson (1974) as “a disposition for having episodes of ‘total’ attention that fully engage one’s representational … resouces”, has been explored in connection to placebo response, mystical experience, religiosity, and synesthesia. However, absorption has not been explored as a predictor of psychotherapeutic outcomes. Over the course of two studies, we sought to gain an understanding of absorption’s trait-level associations, as well as its role as a predictor of social anxiety reduction after a brief mindfulness paradigm. Namely, we hypothesized that

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is recognized as a worldwide epidemic that is particularly problematic among indigenous populations. Canada’s Aboriginal population experiences rates of T2DM up to 5.3 times higher than the non-Aboriginal population.

I hypothesized that, due to its stress reduction effects, a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) could lead to health improvements for Aboriginal adults with T2DM.

Self-regulation in children has been found to be prognostic of both normative and problematic social and emotional development in later childhood and adolescence.

Attention regulation is commonly measured by using rating scales and by obtaining children's behavioral and neurophysiological responses during laboratory tasks. Despite the widespread use of a variety of measurement strategies, the convergent validity of diverse measurements of attention regulation has not been systematically te

Abstract:

Globally, cannabis is used by ~210 million people and 10-to-30% endorse symptoms consistent with a cannabis use disorder (CUD), which constitutes a substantial social burden including health and treatment services. CUD is characterised by a loss of control over cannabis consumption despite significant adverse outcomes including strong cravings when exposed to cannabis cues. Such outcomes have been (partly) ascribed to altered brain function in addiction related pathways. Preliminary functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) evidence in cannabis users, show different brain activity when exp

Abstract:

Acquired brain injury (ABI) and long-term neurological conditions (such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease), are major causes of disability in the UK, and can lead to significant physical, cognitive, neuro-behavioural, psychological and social difficulties for sufferers. Individuals affected by an ABI or neurological conditions commonly report difficulties around emotional adjustment, reduced attention, mental control, and self-efficacy and their health-related quality of life also often appears to be much reduced. Whilst conventional neuro-rehabilitation has tended to address physical

Abstract:

Anxiety is a common mental health challenge seen at a university counselling centre. The Integrated Mindfulness-based Anxiety Group (IMAG) was a 10-session therapy program designed for use at a university counselling centre to work with university students who struggle with anxiety. IMAG integrated core mindfulness components from three prominent therapy programs; mindfulness was trained through both mindfulness meditative practices and skills. A mixed-method, Small-N design study investigated the effectiveness of the IMAG. Seventeen university students grappling with self-reported anxiety

Abstract:

This research aimed to establish the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention facilitated by a trainee educational psychologist and a class teacher, with a class of Year Four children. The study took a pragmatist approach to research, whereby a mixed method approach was considered the best way to address the study’s research questions. The Year Four children in a mainstream primary school participated in a six week mindfulness-based intervention, with activities from ‘60 Mindful Minutes’ (The Nurture Group Network, 2014). Quantitative data were collected and analysed in relation to th

Abstract:

Providing care for a frail older adult who is suffering from dementia has been described as a stressful experience that may erode psychological well-being and physical health of caregivers. The burden and stress is increased when the caregivers are themselves elderly. The present study investigated an 8-week stress-reduction program, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and compared it to a similarly structured, alternative behavioral intervention, Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), to determine if MBSR was as effective or more effective than PMR at reducing subjective burden, symptoms
