“…Of the 57 intervention studies that met our review criteria (Table 1; eTable 1 in the Supplement), 29 focused on prosocial behaviors (eg, empathy, compassion, altruism), 13 on emotional regulation, and 15 on spirituality . We did not find any published RCTs for self-reflection, social decision-making or social advising, acceptance of uncertainty, and decisiveness.…”

IMPORTANCE Wisdom is a neurobiological personality trait made up of specific components, including prosocial behaviors, emotional regulation, and spirituality. It is associated with greater well-being and happiness. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to enhance individual components of wisdom. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases were searched for articles published through December 31, 2018.STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Randomized clinical trials that sought to enhance a component of wisdom, used published measures to assess that component, were published in English, had a minimum sample size of 40 participants, and presented data that enabled computation of effect sizes were included in this meta-analysis.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Random-effect models were used to calculate pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) for each wisdom component and random-effects meta-regression to assess heterogeneity of studies.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Improvement in wisdom component using published measures.RESULTS Fifty-seven studies (N = 7096 participants) met review criteria: 29 for prosocial behaviors, 13 for emotional regulation, and 15 for spirituality. Study samples included people with psychiatric or physical illnesses and from the community. Of the studies, 27 (47%) reported significant improvement with medium to large effect sizes. Meta-analysis revealed significant pooled SMDs for prosocial behaviors (23 studies; pooled SMD, 0.43 [95% CI, 0.22-0.3]; P = .02), emotional regulation (12 studies; pooled SMD, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.21-1.12]; P = .004), and spirituality (12 studies; pooled SMD, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.41-1.60]; P = .001). Heterogeneity of studies was considerable for all wisdom components. Publication bias was present for prosocial behavior and emotional regulation studies; after adjusting for it, the pooled SMD for prosocial behavior remained significant (SMD, 0.4 [95% CI, 0.16-0.78]; P = .003). Meta-regression analysis found that effect sizes did not vary by wisdom component, although for trials on prosocial behaviors, large effect sizes were associated with older mean participant age (β, 0.08 [SE, 0.04]), and the reverse was true for spirituality trials (β, −0.13 [SE, 0.04]). For spirituality interventions, higher-quality trials had larger effect sizes (β, 4.17 [SE, 1.07]), although the reverse was true for prosocial behavior trials (β, −0.91 [SE 0.44]).CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Interventions to enhance spirituality, emotional regulation, and prosocial behaviors are effective in a proportion of people with mental or physical illnesses and from the community. The modern behavioral epidemics of loneliness, suicide, and opioid abuse point to a growing need for wisdom-enhancing interventions to promote individual and societal well-being.

“…Una revisión de la literatura (Goldberg, Tucker, Greene, Simpson, Kearney & Davidson, 2017), encontró que solo el 10% de las investigaciones basadas en el MF utilizaron un grupo de control, y que por lo tanto no había forma de contrastar los hallazgos; varios estudios de meta-análisis han obtenido resultados modestos sobre la efectividad del MF en la reducción del estrés, ansiedad, depresión, dolor e ira en poblaciones clínicas y normales, así como en el incremento de la atención y productividad laboral y rendimiento escolar. Varios estudios de revisión de la literatura indican que el MF parecen ser aceptables en el mejoramiento de la salud, pero se requieren investigaciones con mayor rigor metodológico para corroborar los hallazgos (Muñoz, Hoppes, Hellman, Brunk, Bragg, & Cummins, 2016;Hyland, 2016;Kreplin, Farias, & Brazil, 2018;Shahidi, Akbari, & Zargar, 2017).…”

Incidencia del mindfulness en el estrés académico en estudiantes universitarios: Un estudio controladoIncidence of mindfulness in academic stress in university students: a controlled study Resumen El mindfulness es un método cognitivo que consiste en prestar atención plena al cuerpo, respiración, pensamientos, emociones, y conductas, que se utiliza para reducir el estrés, dolor, ansiedad y depresión, el cual cuenta con algunas evidencias clínicas. Recientemente se está evaluando sus aplicaciones en el ámbito universitario, con resultados aún no concluyentes. El propósito del estudio fue evaluar la incidencia de un programa de ocho semanas del mindfulness en la reducción del estrés académico en una muestra de 54 estudiantes universitarios, con grupo de control aleatorio, y con medidas de pre-posprueba utilizando el Inventario CISCO de Estrés Académico. Se encontró que no existe diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los niveles de estrés del grupo que recibió el programa de mindfulness comparado con los que no recibieron el entrenamiento. El resultado es congruente con algunos hallazgos que no atribuyen eficacia de la atención plena en el manejo del estrés académico. AbstractMindfulness is a cognitive method that consists of giving full attention to the body, breathing, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, which is used to reduce stress, pain, anxiety and depression, which has some clinical evidence. Recently, its applications in the university field are being evaluated, with results that are not yet conclusive. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the incidence of an eight-week program of mindfulness in reducing academic stress in a group of 54 university students, with a randomized control group, and with pre-post-test measures using the CISCO Academic Stress Inventory. It was found that there are no statistically significant differences in the stress levels of the group that received the der mindfulnes program compared to those who did not receive the training. The result is congruent with some findings that do not attribute efficiency of mindfulness in the management of academic stress. IntroducciónEl mindfulness (MF) o atención plena (AP) a menudo se refiere a prácticas específicas utilizadas para enfocar la atención de una persona (meditación, yoga, respiración, concentración de un solo punto, en un objeto, etcétera) y se caracteriza por la intencionalidad y la observación sin prejuicios de la experiencia. La AP se asocia con la espiritualidad oriental, pero las aplicaciones puramente seculares de mindfulness se han explorado cada vez más en entornos tan variados como en la clínica, el lugar de trabajo, las instituciones correccionales y las instituciones educativas (Broderick & Jennings, 2012) El MF es una estrategia cognitiva atencional que en la actualidad se utiliza para entrenar la regulación de la atención con el propósito de reducir el estrés y promover la salud psicológica, y recientemente se ha convertido en una técnica muy popular en las universidades para reducir el estrés producido por l...

“…On the other hand, studies suggest that the practice of mindfulness, understood as a technique based on meditation and aimed at increasing the awareness of the present moment without judging it 55 , has a significant impact on improving the affective state, reducing the levels of anxiety and perceived stress, and decreasing the experience of pain 56 , 57 . In the field of addictions, mindfulness has also shown positive effects, both in substance addiction and in GD, reducing the levels of severity, abstinence, and craving 58 – 61 but also decreasing the psychological and emotional discomfort associated with the addictive behaviors 62 .…”

An overview of gambling disorder: from treatment approaches to risk factors

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Gambling disorder (GD) has been reclassified recently into the “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders” category of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), a landmark occurrence for a behavioral addiction. GD is characterized by recurrent, maladaptive gambling behavior that results in clinically significant distress. Although the number of randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments is limited, some pharmacological treatments, notably opiate antagonists, have been employed in the treatment of GD. Patients with GD often present cognitive distortions and specific personality traits, making treatment more difficult. Cognitive behavioral therapy has become the most common psychological intervention for treating gambling problems, and it is effective in reducing gambling behavior. In this brief overview, we provide a report on the state of pharmacological and psychological treatments for gambling disorder. Risk factors and potential future lines of research are addressed.
