Objective Mindfulness meditation has met increasing interest as a therapeutic strategy for anxiety disorders, but prior studies have been limited by methodological concerns, including a lack of an active comparison group. This is the first randomized, controlled trial comparing the manualized Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program with an active control for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, a disorder characterized by chronic worry and physiological hyperarousal symptoms. Method Ninety-three individuals with DSM-IV-diagnosed GAD were randomized to an 8-week group intervention with MBSR or to an attention control, Stress Management Education (SME) between 2009 and 2011. Anxiety symptoms were measured with the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A, primary outcome measure), the Clinical Global Impression of Severity and Improvement (CGI-S and CGI-I), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Stress reactivity was assessed by comparing anxiety and distress during pre- and post-treatment Trier Social Stress Tests (TSST). Results A modified intent-to-treat analysis including participants who completed at least one session of MBSR (N=48) or SME (N=41) showed that both interventions led to significant reductions in HAM-A scores at endpoint, but did not significantly differ. MBSR, however, was associated with a significantly greater reduction in anxiety as measured by the CGI-S, the CGI-I, and the BAI (all Ps<0.05). MBSR was also associated with greater reductions than SME in anxiety and distress ratings in response to the TSST stress challenge (P<0.05), and a greater increase in positive self-statements (P=0.004). Conclusions These results suggest that MBSR may have a beneficial effect on anxiety symptoms in GAD, and may also improve stress reactivity and coping as measured in a laboratory stress challenge.

“…SUDS has been widely used as a measure of anxiety and distress (e.g. Kim, Bae, & Chon Park, 2008;Tanner, 2012) and has been shown to correlate with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1983) as well as other signs of distress such as heart rate (e.g. Kaplan, Smith, & Coons, 1995).…”

When your heart is in your mouth: the effect of second language use on negative emotions

Research on bilingualism and emotions has shown stronger emotional responses in the native language (L1) compared to a foreign language. We investigated the potential of purposeful second language (L2) use as a means of decreasing the experience of psychological distress. Native Swedish speakers read and answered questions about negative and neutral texts in their L1 (Swedish) and their L2 (English) and were asked to rate their level of distress before or after the questions. The texts and associated questions were either written in the same (within-language), or different languages (cross-language). We found that within-language trials when the text was written in participants' native language (Swedish-Swedish) resulted in an increase of distress, whilst cross-language trials (Swedish-English) resulted in a decrease of distress. This implies that purposeful second language use can diminish levels of distress experienced following a negative event encoded in one's first language.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the anxiety levels of mothers associated with newborn hearing screening test and heel prick blood sampling. Methods: A randomized controlled trial of 112 mothers who applied for newborn screening in a public hospital were conducted. The mothers were divided into two groups depending on their baby's assigned group; hearing screening test group (HST group) or heel prick blood sampling group (HBS group). The study was completed with a total of 101 participants. Parental Information Form, Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S, STAI-T) were used in data collection. Data analysis were performed by using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Independent groups t test, Pearson and Spearman correlation. Results: In the HST and HBS groups, the score median of the SUDS was 5,0 (IQR: 4,0-7,0) and 5,0 (IQR: 4,0-7,0), the score average of the STAI-S was 39,8±6,7 and 41,3±7,6, and the score average of the STAI-T was 42,5±7,1 and 41,4±6,5, respectively. There were significant relationships between the mothers' scores of the SUDS, STAI-S and STAI-T. Conclusion: The mothers' anxiety associated with hearing screening test and heel prick blood sampling were higher than Spielberger's female population. There was no difference between the anxiety of the mothers according to whether the screening test is interventional. In order to avoid problems associated with parental anxiety, it may be advisable to investigate appropriate methods to reduce the anxiety of mothers.
