“…See Table 1. Primary researchers used 7 different depressive instruments including: (1) Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; s = 2), (2) Psychology Health Questionnaire (PHQ, s=1), (3) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; s =5) (4) Profile Mood States (POMS; s =1) (5) the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21, s=3), (6) the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D, s=6), (7) Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; s =1). Higher scores indicate higher levels of depression.…”

“…Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been growing in popularity as a complementary therapy for symptom management among cancer survivors. [6][7][8][9] As such, there have been increasing efforts to study the effects of interventions incorporating mindfulness. Originating in the Buddhist tradition, the practice of mindfulness has been adapted as a complementary therapy in several patient populations.…”

Objective: We examined the effects of Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on depressive symptoms in women with breast cancer and examined the moderating effects of participant characteristics, research methodologies, and features of interventions. Methods: We systematically searched 12 databases through November 2022 without date restrictions using the following search terms: (mindful* or meditation) AND (cancer OR neoplasm) AND (depress*). Studies included were primary studies evaluating MBIs in women with breast cancer who also had depression. Studies were included if they used a control group and were written in English. We used a random-effects model to compute effect sizes (ESs) using Hedges’ g, forest plot, and Q and I2 statistics as measure of heterogeneity. We also requested moderator analyses. Results: We found 19 studies with 2139 participants (49.4 ± 8.3 years old) that met inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis and systematic review. Overall, women in MBI groups demonstrated significantly lower levels of depression ( g = 0.48, 95% CI:0.159, 0.792, P < .001) compared to women in control groups. Regarding moderators, providing MBIs with a home assignment component showed a significantly greater effect on decreasing depressive symptoms ( g = 1.75) compared to MBIs without a home assignment component ( g = 0.20). When researchers used concealed allocation technique, the interventions demonstrated lower effects on depression than when concealed allocation ( g = 0.11vs g = 1.33, P ≤ .001) was not reported. Additionally, when researchers reported high rates of sample attrition, they found a lower effect size on depression (β = −.019, Q = 3.97, P = .046) indicating that attrition moderates the effect. Conclusion: MBIs are moderately effective interventions to reduce depressive symptoms among women with breast cancer. Clinicians might consider encouraging MBIs as adjunct/alternative treatments for women with breast cancer to manage symptoms of depression. Interventions that incorporat home assignments for practicing mindfulness are likely to have a greater effect on reducing depressive symptoms. Additionally, methods including concealed allocation and attrition rate were moderators of the effects of MBIs on depression in women with breast cancer.

“…[13,14] Mindfulness is an “Awareness generated through intentional and nonjudgmental attention to the present moment.” [15] Studies have shown that mindfulness training can be effective in alleviating physical and mental health problems and has been widely used in different populations. [16,17] Khanna et al proposed that the state of “mindfulness deficit” and its associated negative emotions and life events are 1 of the reasons for individual addictive behaviors, including escapism, automatic thinking, emotional reaction, and social isolation. [8] Mindfulness cultivation is to integrate the concept, method and technology of mindfulness into all parts of life that enhance individual self-regulation, acquisition acceptance and nonjudgment, increase prosocial behavior, and then cultivate a positive attitude.…”

Aims: In this study a web-based mindfulness cultivation program was implemented to investigate its effectiveness on the addiction symptoms and negative emotions of college students with social network addiction.Methods: A total of 66 students were recruited and randomly divided into the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group received a web-based mindfulness cultivation program including the group training and self-cultivating. The primary outcome was addiction level, and the secondary outcome was anxiety, depression and perceived stress. Repeated measures analysis of variance were utilized to analyze the differences between the control and intervention group over the course of the intervention and the follow-up.Results: There were significant interaction effects on addiction level (F = 39.39, P < .00), anxiety (F = 31.17, P < .00), depression (F = 37.93, P < .00) and perceived stress (F = 22.04, P < .00). Conclusion:A web-based mindfulness cultivation program could improve the addiction level and negative emotions of college students with social network addiction.

Mindfulness is defined as ‘awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally' (Kabat-Zinn, 2013). Mindfulness-based interventions are common in the field of health because they can have a key role in decreasing the level of stress and anxiety. Education has become more competitive in the new world, and teachers and learners can sometimes experience challenges adapting to this new academic world. Mindfulness can be one of the ways to enhance the resilience that the students and teachers experience. The current chapter explores mindfulness and its origins, its relation to science, mindfulness attitudes, academic resilience in students, and the relationship between mindfulness and stress. Then, the chapter offers several mindful practices for both adults and young learners. Finally, it suggests some digital tools for mindful practices
