Feasibility Testing a Meditation App for Professionals Working With Youth in the Legal System: Protocol for a Hybrid Type 2 Effectiveness-Implementation Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Feasibility Testing a Meditation App for Professionals Working With Youth in the Legal System: Protocol for a Hybrid Type 2 Effectiveness-Implementation Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

The present study was born out of an earlier project adapting, implementing, and feasibility testing a mindfulness meditation app for youth on probation funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA; grant K99/R00 DA047890). The setting for both projects is Cook County, which encompasses Chicago and its surrounding suburbs and houses one of the largest legal systems in the United States.

Assessment of an App-Based Sleep Program to Improve Sleep Outcomes in a Clinical Insomnia Population: Randomized Controlled Trial

Assessment of an App-Based Sleep Program to Improve Sleep Outcomes in a Clinical Insomnia Population: Randomized Controlled Trial

While mindfulness is often incorporated as part of the cognitive component of CBT-I [32], the Headspace Sleep Program positions mindfulness as a foundational approach, introducing it first as a tool for building awareness of sleep habits and patterns. This approach differs from traditional CBT-I frameworks, where mindfulness is typically introduced as a complementary cognitive strategy.

Consumer-Grade Neurofeedback With Mindfulness Meditation: Meta-Analysis

Consumer-Grade Neurofeedback With Mindfulness Meditation: Meta-Analysis

An alternative is technology-supported mindfulness, an umbrella term encompassing mobile apps [8], virtual reality and augmented reality [9], video games [10], biofeedback [11], and neurofeedback [12,13]. Here we systematically review and meta-analyze mindfulness-based neurofeedback (mb NF) of consumer-grade neurofeedback devices to understand its effectiveness. One of the most commonly used MBIs is mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) [14].

Development of an eHealth Mindfulness-Based Music Therapy Intervention for Adults Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Qualitative Study

A growing body of research suggests that mindfulness-based interventions, including mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness meditation (MM) yield promising results in enhancing both psychosocial outcomes (eg, reducing anxiety and depression) and physiological adaptation (eg, decreasing inflammation) in cancer patients [18-21].

A New Mobile App to Train Attention Processes in People With Traumatic Brain Injury: Logical and Ecological Content Validation Study

A New Mobile App to Train Attention Processes in People With Traumatic Brain Injury: Logical and Ecological Content Validation Study

According to the results of several studies [10], it is possible to stimulate and optimize attention functions using mindfulness practice. Indeed, mindfulness is a state of consciousness that emerges from deliberately focusing on an object in the present moment [11]. An analysis of the “cognitive mechanics” of mindfulness revealed that attention, working memory, and their different processes are key [1,10].

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy–Game: An Ironic Way to Treat Internet Gaming Disorder

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy–Game: An Ironic Way to Treat Internet Gaming Disorder

This hypothesis serves as a complementary system to the interacting cognitive subsystem (ICS) model, which has been theoretically used to explain CBT and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). In addition, the study discusses the necessity and potential development of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy–game (MBCT-G). The self-medication hypothesis refers to the tendency of individuals to autonomously select substances or specific behaviors to alleviate psychological or emotional distress [11].

Proximal Effects of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for Smoking Cessation With Wearable Sensors: Microrandomized Trial

Proximal Effects of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for Smoking Cessation With Wearable Sensors: Microrandomized Trial

The JITAI consisted of mindfulness or motivational strategies sent to participants each day of the 2-week period when wearing the equipment. Mindfulness strategies (n=76) were designed to prompt individuals to engage in mindfulness skills at that moment and fell into one of 5 topic areas: breath, thoughts, sensations, acceptance or nonjudgment, and craving.

Effectiveness of an Internet-Based, Self-Guided, Short-Term Mindfulness Training (ISSMT) Program for Relieving Depressive Symptoms in the Adult Population in China: Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of an Internet-Based, Self-Guided, Short-Term Mindfulness Training (ISSMT) Program for Relieving Depressive Symptoms in the Adult Population in China: Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Mindfulness-based training has gained increasing attention in recent years [16-20], with substantial evidence supporting its positive impact on depression [19,20]. Mindfulness is a moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment [21]. Among the various mindfulness-based interventions, 2 of the most widely implemented are Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy [22].

Mindfulness Intervention for Health Information Avoidance in Older Adults: Mixed Methods Study

This study introduces mindfulness meditation as a potential intervention. Rooted in Buddhist traditions, mindfulness has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility [9,10]. By applying mindfulness meditation with older adults, this study evaluates its effects on cyberchondria and health information avoidance, providing a cost-effective health management strategy.

Digital Mindfulness Training for Burnout Reduction in Physicians: Clinician-Driven Approach

Several studies have reported that mindfulness training (MT) is one of the most studied individual-focused interventions for reducing stress and enhancing well-being among physicians [33,36-40]. Mindfulness refers to being fully aware and present in the current moment, on purpose and nonjudgmentally, of thoughts, feelings, and sensations [41].
