“…According to the first result of this study, the implementation of a 6-week MTP was significantly effective in decreasing perceived stress levels among adolescents. This result was supportive of the earlier research showing that MBSR reduces stress and anxiety in adolescents (Bergen-Cico, Possemato, & Cheon, 2013;Malow & Austin, 2016;Demir, 2015;Kuyken, Weare, Ukoumunne et al, 2013). Barkan and his colleagues (2016) stated that mindfulness was also related to individual characteristics, such as openness and agreeableness, as well as awareness.…”

“…Most mindfulness studies have tended to examine mindfulness descriptively according to several variables, such as self-compassion (Ozyeşil, 2011), stress (Ülev, 2014) and social anxiety (Tuncer, 2017). Furthermore, the number of experimental studies is quite limited, and these limited studies mostly concentrated on the examination of stress (Demir, 2015(Demir, , 2017 and emotion regulation (Demir & Gündoğan, 2018) among university students. A small number of studies, meanwhile, have focused on self-efficacy and mindfulness in high school students (Atalay et al, 2017;Ozkan et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Adolescence is a period of rapid change marked by increased stress levels. Individuals with high self-efficacy better alleviate the effects of the stress of this period by exerting conscious control over their own thoughts, behaviours and feelings – a trait strongly associated with mindfulness. In this regard, the concept of mindfulness-based self-efficacy has been a much-researched area in recent students. Mindfulness practices ensure individuals with vitality and energy since they learn to become more open and engaged. In this respect, mindfulness is associated with thriving. This experimental research investigates the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Thriving Program (MTP) on high school students’ perceived stress, mindfulness, thriving and self-efficacy levels. Methods: The study was conducted with 17 randomly assigned, female 11th grade students (X̄=16.62 for experimental group, X̄=16.77 for control group), who acquired educational support in Uskudar Municipality Youth Academy in the 2019-2020 academic year. The inclusion criteria included scoring highly on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and scoring lowly on the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Thriving Scale (TS) and Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) in a pre-test assessment. The experimental group (n=8) received a six-session MTP intervention developed by the researcher, while the control group (n=9) received no intervention. To determine the immediate and long-term effects of the MTP, all participants completed post-tests (PSS, MAAS, TS, GSES) two months after the program. Results: The 6-week MTP applied to adolescents was significantly effective in decreasing perceived stress and increasing mindfulness, thriving and self-efficacy levels. Discussion: All findings were supported by the relevant literature and recommendations on their possible application have been given. Limitations: Scores obtained from the scales, the narrow range of the sample (only 11th grade female students), the lack of a placebo group to support reliability and the lack of a comparable program for the current one all indicated the limitations of the study. Conclusions: The 6-week MTP applied to adolescents showed the effectiveness in decreasing perceived stress and increasing mindfulness, thriving and self-efficacy levels. In this regard, thriving and mindfulness together have an important role in the development of self-efficacy and in decreasing perceived stress during adolescence. Thus, all these conclusions highlight the potential contribution of eclectic mindfulness practices for adolescence.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of mindfulness-based therapy on psychiatric symptoms, psychological well-being, and pain beliefs in patients with lumbar disk hernia. Design and Methods: The study was a nonrandomized pretest-posttest controlled quasi-experimental research and carried out in a total of 64 patients. A personal information form, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Pain Beliefs Scale were used for data collection. Findings: We observed a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of the posttest mean scores of the psychiatric symptoms, psychological well-being, and pain beliefs. Practice Implications: The results revealed that mindfulness-based therapy has a positive impact on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. K E Y W O R D S lumbar disk hernia, mindfulness-based therapy, psychosocial status 1 | INTRODUCTION Lumbar disk herniation (LDH) is a disease that restricts the activities of individuals in daily life and is common in the community. 1 The most common symptom among patients diagnosed with LDH is pain, which should be considered as a multidimensional feeling. 2 Encountering a sudden pain causes a serious effect on the psychological states of individuals. 1 These effects include one's fear of being dependent on others, the anxiety of death, fear that some parts of the body will be maimed, and concerns about being unable to meet economic needs. 3 The patient, whose psychological state is affected, experiences emotional reactions, and the extent of which may vary depending on the physiological process, such as anger, irritation, denial of the disease or condition, helplessness, and frustration due to the fear of dependence on others. 3,4 These reactions often cause psychiatric disorders in individuals. The symptoms of anxiety and depression increase even more if the patient has severe lumbar pain, complicating the compliance of the patient to the treatment. 1 To facilitate the adaptation of the individuals to the treatment process, the stressful situations they experience should be identified and solved through appropriate nursing interventions. Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) can be used to cope with the pain, anxiety, stress, and depression experienced by individuals in different patient groups. 5-7 The concept of consciousness is defined as living the instant experiences and admitting and acknowledging the moment without being influenced by the possible experiences and emotions gone through in the past or planned for future. 8 Consciousness is the momentary experience in which the person concentrates his or her attention on that moment, that is, the present, and admits it without any judgment. MBT also includes methods that enable one to focus on that particular moment. With the administration of these methods, one learns the strategies of coping with problems, accepting internal and external experiences, and avoiding. 9 MBT-applied research has been conducted on cancer patients, 6...

Infectious diseases cause psychological problems for health care workers and especially nurses. Nurses who provided coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients with care experience negative feelings such as stress, work-related strain, discomfort, and helplessness related to their high-intensity work. The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of the mindfulness-based breathing and music therapy practice on stress, work-related strain, and psychological well-being levels of nurses who provided COVID-19 patients with care. This randomized controlled trial was conducted in a COVID-19 department at a university hospital in Turkey. Nurses who care for patients infected with COVID-19 were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 52) and a no-treatment control group (n = 52). The intervention group received mindfulness-based breathing and music therapy. In data collection, the Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Inventory, Work-Related Strain Scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale were used. The data from the study showed that mindfulness-based breathing and music therapy decreased stress and work-related strain (P < .05) and increased psychological well-being (P < .05). The control group showed no statistically significant changes on these measures (P > .05). The mindfulness-based breathing and music therapy practice reduced nurses' stress and work-related strain and increased psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.
