Just-in-Time Delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Based Exercises: Single-Case Experimental Design With Random Multiple Baselines

Just-in-Time Delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Based Exercises: Single-Case Experimental Design With Random Multiple Baselines

A variety of interventions are offered in EMIs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and relaxation (for a review, see [14]). Furthermore, different trials have used different logic to define delivery interventions.

Breath-Focused Mindfulness and Compassion Training in Parent-Child Dyads: Pilot Intervention Study

Breath-Focused Mindfulness and Compassion Training in Parent-Child Dyads: Pilot Intervention Study

Furthermore, many school-based mindfulness interventions have been introduced to enhance well-being in children, and such programs have grown rapidly since the pandemic [30,34,35]. Yet, all of these studies have examined the efficacy of mindfulness or compassion-based intervention separately applied to parents or children but not as cotraining.

Stress Management Among Caregivers of Detained Youth: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial of the RAISE Web-Based mHealth App

Stress Management Among Caregivers of Detained Youth: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial of the RAISE Web-Based mHealth App

One promising method of reducing parenting stress is through mindfulness-based interventions [29]. Mindfulness, “the practice of focusing full attention on the present moment intentionally and without judgment” [30], is posited to reduce perceived and biological stress reactivity by increasing awareness of and ability to tolerate thoughts and emotions.

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

In an analysis of 29 mindfulness meditation apps, the median 7-day retention rate was just under 10% and the median 30-day retention rate was about 5% [14]. This data highlights a disconnect between awareness and sustained practice, indicating the importance of understanding the barriers to engagement with meditation. Along these lines, past research has systematically identified the barriers to meditation.

The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality–Based Mindfulness Interventions for Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality–Based Mindfulness Interventions for Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Mindfulness, defined as the practice of purposefully paying attention to the present moment without judgment, has emerged as a popular and effective approach to promoting mental well-being and reducing symptoms of various psychological disorders [1]. Rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions, mindfulness has been adapted and integrated into various therapeutic interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy [2].

An Intervention to Support Higher Education Teachers’ Teaching Processes and Well-Being: Protocol for an Intervention Study

An Intervention to Support Higher Education Teachers’ Teaching Processes and Well-Being: Protocol for an Intervention Study

Mindfulness may help teachers to be more proactively aware of their daily emotions, and through this, not only protect and enhance their well-being but create a positive classroom climate that supports students’ active learning [26]. The mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for teachers primarily focus on enhancing mindfulness, alleviating stress, anxiety, and feelings of burnout, and improving well-being more broadly [27,28].

Impacts of the Mindfulness Meditation Mobile App Calm on Undergraduate Students’ Sleep and Emotional State: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Impacts of the Mindfulness Meditation Mobile App Calm on Undergraduate Students’ Sleep and Emotional State: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Current meta-analyses suggest mindfulness-based online or app-based tools are effective in significantly improving both mental health and sleep quality in postsecondary students [32-35]. While reviews generally agree that online and app-based mindfulness tools can significantly reduce anxiety and stress in students, the evidence regarding their impact on depression is mixed [32-34,36].

Prescriptive Predictors of Mindfulness Ecological Momentary Intervention for Social Anxiety Disorder: Machine Learning Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial Data

Prescriptive Predictors of Mindfulness Ecological Momentary Intervention for Social Anxiety Disorder: Machine Learning Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial Data

Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evidenced the efficacy of labor-intensive mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for SAD [13]. Face-to-face 8- to 12-week MBIs, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR [14]) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT [15]), dominate conventional delivery approaches [16]. These MBIs typically included intensive retreats for mindfulness meditation, lasting from 3 days to 3 months [17].

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.
