Investigating the Impact of Peer-Trainer Delivered Mindfulness Training on Cognitive Abilities and Psychological Health

Abstract: Objectives Mindfulness training (MT) has emerged as a promising tool to promote cognitive functioning and psychological health. As a result, demand for scalable dissemination of MT is increasing across many time-pressured settings. One such setting is the military family. Military spouses face numerous challenges and yet there is a paucity of evidence-based training programs available that are tailored to promote their cognitive functioning and psychological health. Methods In the present study, we examined th… Show more

“…Future research should also assess the effects of a MT and yoga intervention beyond BCT and identify ways to support the continuation of mindfulness and yoga practice once trainees have joined their first unit of assignment where group schedules may be less explicitly structured. Building on studies demonstrating the impact of practice on study outcomes, future research should consider optimizing practice engagement in an occupational setting (Blanck et al, 2018;Denkova et al, 2020Denkova et al, , 2021Nassif et al, 2021). Such studies can also examine the scope of effort required to sustain the benefits of MT and yoga in these settings.…”

“…Beyond scheduling flexibility, MBAT is designed to enable context-specific adaptation of the program to ensure that the themes, examples, and trainer-led discussions are relevant for the professional and lifestyle demands and challenges that specific cohorts may face (see Jha et al, 2020 and Denkova et al, 2021 for detailed descriptions of MBAT contextualized for soldiers and military spouses, respectively). While maintaining MBAT’s core mindfulness themes and practices, program materials are customized to incorporate context-relevant vernacular and examples.…”

“…During the 4-week training interval, MBAT participants were assigned 10–15 min of formal, out-of-class MBAT practices. This study used a non-randomized design with the primary goal to examine the feasibility of MBAT delivery by peers who previously received a teaching practicum (see Denkova et al, 2021 for more details).…”
