The effects of Mindfulness Meditation on hallucination and delusion in severe schizophrenia patients with more than 20 years’ medical history

Job crafting by students who work and study

“…This suggests that developing a construction of work as meaningful and positive and developing work relationships facilitate functioning in the study domain, indicating that students can benefit from job crafting. For example, improved affect from job crafting should improve mood generally and give students a more positive focus on their life and studies (Greenhaus & Powell, 2006).…”

“…Work-to-study conflict refers to when participation in the work role negatively affects participation in the study role (Peeters, Wattez, Demerouti, & de Regt, 2009). This is based on depletion theory (Greenhaus & Powell, 2006), which states that different life roles compete for scarce resources and that resource expenditure in one role reduces resources available for another role. On the other hand, facilitation theory proposes that individual resources can be enhanced so that capital developed in one role can be applied in another; for example, interpersonal skills learned at work can facilitate better study outcomes (Greenhaus & Powell, 2006).…”

Role conflict/facilitation theories have been tested primarily in the work/family domains (Michel, Kotrba, Mitchelson, Clark, & Baltes, 2011), although researchers have examined conflict/facilitation between work and other domains, such as civic engagement, religion, and leisure (Lin, Huang, Yang, & Chiang, 2014).…”

Real-time fMRI neurofeedback reduces auditory hallucinations and modulates resting state connectivity of involved brain regions: Part 2: Default mode network -preliminary evidence

“…Early clinical trials suggest that mindfulness-based approaches can reduce re-hospitalization rates, improve aspects of neuro-cognition, bring clinical improvement, and reduce negative symptoms in SZ (Khoury et al, 2013). A recent study with SZ patients with more than 20 years of treatment history showed that meditation effectively reduces hallucinations (Sheng et al, 2019). In early psychosis, meditation training has also led to improved emotion regulation, anxiety, and depression (Khoury et al, 2013).…”

Biological mechanism study of meditation and its application in mental disorders

“… 71 72 Our study exhibits that 8 months of meditation contributes to significant reductions in persistent hallucination and delusion symptoms of severe schizophrenic patients with more than a 20-year course. 73 Although meditation interventions make initial progress in patients with schizophrenia, the evidence from these findings appears to not be sufficient, and randomised controlled trials in larger cohorts are warranted to further validate.…”
