“…Hope and mindfulness were moderately to strongly correlated in our and others’ studies (Astuti et al 2020 ; Lu et al 2020 ; Munoz et al 2018 ), but they were both uniquely linked to sense coherence and changes in internalizing and externalizing behaviors . However, although multi-component interventions are not uncommon (Hendriks et al 2020 ), one that enhances both hope and mindfulness is relatively rare (Thornton et al 2014 ).…”

Objectives The current study examined whether hope and mindfulness were associated with changes in two maladjustment measures, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, during the COVID-19 pandemic and tested sense of coherence as a mediator. The salutogenic theory of health, which posits that sense of coherence is central to individuals’ well-being in stressful situations and that individuals derive their sense of coherence from their generalized resistance resources (GRRs), was used to guide the analyses. Methods On two occasions separated by about 6 months, 253 Hong Kong college students (mean age = 21.0 years at time 1; 86% of them were women) filled in online questionnaires during the COVID-19 outbreaks. Path analysis was conducted to examine the interrelationships among hope and mindfulness, sense of coherence, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Results Results indicated that hope and mindfulness at time 1 were associated with internalizing and externalizing behaviors at time 2, even after controlling for confounding variables and prior levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Moreover, sense of coherence at time 1 significantly mediated these associations. Conclusions Findings pointed to the potential roles of hope, mindfulness, and sense of coherence in understanding Chinese college students’ adjustment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research is needed to test whether sense of coherence and behavioral adjustment can be promoted through hope- and mindfulness-based intervention programs. Future research is also needed to examine the interrelationships among health-promoting assets, sense of coherence, and individual adjustment in samples of diverse cultural backgrounds.

“…Another study from Vietnam mentioned that marriage was associated with an inferior subjective quality of life (Humphries et al, 2018), but having a stable job though was an indicator of recovery. In the demographic data from 20 articles, the number of unemployed PWS was more than 50% (Astuti et al, 2020; Chee, 2009; Dahlan et al, 2013, 2014; Humphries et al, 2017, 2018; Idaiani, 2015; Jaapar et al, 2020; Kurihara et al, 2011; Loh et al, 2016; Marutani et al, 2020; Mubarak, 2005, 2006; Munikanan et al, 2017; Ngoc et al, 2016; Norlelawati et al, 2015; Nurasikin et al, 2013; Osman et al, 2009; Othman et al, 2013; Phanthunane et al, 2010).…”

Accessible Summary What is Known on the Subject? Mental health recovery has become a more prevalent approach to empowering people with schizophrenia (PWS), especially in western countries. However, despite the benefits, there is a lack of evidence regarding its practice in developing countries such as Southeast Asian Countries. The optimal treatment for PWS has not yet been identified, since most mental health care is provided in hospital‐based settings in Southeast Asia. Mental health treatment in Southeast Asia is highly influenced by cultural norms, values, and practices. What the Paper Adds to Existing Knowledge? The findings highlight the importance of integrating cultural aspects into the treatment of people with schizophrenia. The sample of unique elements in Southeast Asian mental health recovery include using a close neighbour/cadre as social support and using religious activity to increase hope. Lack of government support, high level of employment, and stigma are the biggest barriers in the PWS recovery process. What is the Implication for Practice? There is a research gap regarding the awareness and implementation of mental health recovery in psychiatric programs across the Southeast Asian region which likely impacts the effectiveness of the treatment. The review shows that little research has explored the concept of personal recovery in Southeast Asian Countries. Abstract Introduction Recovery has become an important approach used by mental health services around the world. Many mental health systems have taken steps to move towards more recovery‐oriented practices and service delivery. Therefore, establishing recovery‐oriented services in developing countries like those in the Southeast Asian region requires a detailed understanding of the cultural norms, values, and current mental health practices. Aims To investigate the mental health practices that promote recovery, its barrier in Southeast Asia, and to determine if they align with the CHIME recovery model. Method Electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and SCOPUS, were searched [PROSPERO] (CRD42021227962). Peer‐reviewed English language articles from 2004 to January 2021 were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the CASP checklist, and thematic synthesis of included studies was conducted. Results Thirty‐one studies met inclusion criteria. Several themes illustrated mental health recovery services and the current obstacles identified in South‐east Asian studies. Connection includes peer support and support groups, relationship status, and limited opportunities to become involved in the community. Hope is found in cultural concepts of hope, stimulating recovery through mental health programs, whilst lack of knowledge and education are the main barriers. Ethnicity is linked to a high level of stigma, but ethnicity also builds identity. Meaning and spirituality manifest in religious activities as the catalyst for recovery. Finally, the opposite of Empowerment is seen in the tendency of people with schizophren...

“…Unfortunately, only two studies have documented the effects of MBI on recovery from illness in people with schizophrenia, so the current study cannot determine the optimum amount of mindfulness performs to achieve the best patient results in trials and thus offer regulation to therapists in determining the best proper form of home exercises for users. The first study, which looked at the effects of mindfulness on hope and recovery in patients with schizophrenia, discovered that the intervention group had a higher mean score recovery following mindfulness therapy than the control group (Astuti et al, 2020). The second study used a pretest/posttest design with two groups (training and control) to examine the efficacy of MBI training on increasing functional recovery and insight in schizophrenia patients.…”

Background: Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) have revealed efficacies in lowering psychological problems including depression and anxiety in a variety of clinical settings, including psychosis. Aim: The current study aimed to assess the effect of MBI on recent-onset psychosis for patients with schizophrenia. Methods: A randomized control trial research design recruited 69 patients with schizophrenia and randomly assigned them to a MBI group (35 patients) who received seven 90-minutes weekly group sessions and to a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (34 patients). After informed consent, all patients were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Recovery Assessment Scale-Domains and Stages (RAS-DS), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) at baseline and post-intervention. Results: No significant difference was found between MBI group and TAU group regarding sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, studied domains and total scores of studied variables before the intervention. After application of the intervention, there was a significant difference between TAU group and MBI group in domains of positive psychosis symptoms, negative psychosis symptoms general psychopathology, PANSS total score (Z= 2.06, 3.11, 2.16 and 2.46 respectively). Besides, there was a significant difference between TAU group and MBI group regarding RAS-DS total score and FFMQ total score (Z= 4.19 and 4.78 respectively). Conclusion: This study preliminarily recognized prompt and transient benefits of MBI as a third-wave intervention on recent-onset psychosis for patients with schizophrenia. These types of intervention are recommended for nurses as a complementary treatment for positive and negative symptoms and enhancing recovery among schizophrenia patients.
