Effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Intervention on Psychological Well-being
and Quality of Life: Is Increased Mindfulness Indeed the Mechanism?
In different types of settings in both mental health care and somatic health care, mindfulness-
based approaches aimed at minimising relational symptoms of depression and improving the
quality of life are rapidly implemented and common. These approaches seek to foster an open-
minded and non-judgmental understanding of whatever occurs at the moment of experience that
follows. The direct and pre-reflexive artefacts of experience provide the entire spectrum of
potential phenomena, from internal psychological states and mechanisms (thoughts, impulses,
images, etc.), proprioceptive input from the body, to the senses entering external stimuli. In a
transparent, nonjudgmental and accepting manner, phenomena are treated. It is the clear and
single-minded awareness of what actually happens to us and to us in the moments of perception
that follow"[6]. The approach is rooted in the central Buddhist idea that the judgmental outcome
of all psychological distress is maintained. A previous meta-analysis on the impact of MBSR on
psychological well-being factors was based on the power analysis, finding a mean medium-sized
effect size (d=0.5). With an alpha level of 0.05 and a power of 0.80, a capability of 0.80
We required a total of 50 participants. Sixty respondents with signs of depression volunteered
and met the requirements for trial participation. They were randomised into an intervention unit
that will undergo instruction for the MBSR And a monitoring group waiting-list that will receive
MBSR after their testing was completed by the intervention group. Random sorting without
stratification of the MBSR participants was conducted using the SPSS programme. The 'random
case collection' method extended to numbers representing the participants. The performer
(second author) of this technique did not know which number represented the individual. There
after randomization, Except for the review of the results, which was achieved by submitting
questionnaires, there was no blindness to group assignment.
The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation: A Meta-Analysis
There has been a growing interest in the area of meditation for mindfulness in recent years. This
has yielded a diverse array of research findings, and it seems like a detailed summary of the
impact of meditation on mindfulness is overdue. In the present article, our goal is to summarise
the results observed so far with an emphasis on the influence of non-clinical meditators'
meditation.
