“…Two previous studies found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy interventions showed a significant reduction in residual symptoms, consistent with reducing the risk of depression recurrence, psychological distress especially depression and anxiety, and strengthened selfesteem, resilience, and general well-being for an individual's life (McCay et al, 2016;Tickell et al, 2020). Other studies have shown that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy both as a group and individually can improve psychological well-being, attention skills, and reduce symptoms of depression (Alampay et al, 2020;Schroevers et al, 2016). The studies that have been described in this review showed the strategies to reduce depressive symptoms can be done with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy interventions.…”

Depression is a common mental health disorder. The main symptoms of depression are a lack of interest in the activities of daily life and suicidal thoughts. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is effective in preventing or reducing symptoms of depression. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in reducing symptoms of depression. This systematic review was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Five databases included in this study This systematic review uses 10 articles that fit the inclusion criteria outcome. The result showed mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention from the research was reviewed significantly and has been shown to be an effective psychological intervention for reducing depressive symptoms in various populations. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has better results for reducing depressive symptoms and has a positive impact on reducing mental health problems and can be used by nurses and other mental health practitioners.

“…Furthermore, the wide-scale dissemination of MBAs in Latinx individuals may require systematic and rigorous cultural adaptations of MBAs. To this point, there are likely some MBAs that, at this time, are better suited for wide-scale dissemination (such as MBSR and MBCT) given the extant strong empirical support, application to real-world settings, and use among diverse populations (Alampay et al, 2020;Gárriz et al, 2020;Michalak et al, 2020).…”

Objectives This article represents a call to action for the mindfulness field to be more diverse and inclusive of Latinx individuals. Building a diverse and inclusive science around mindfulness-based approaches (MBAs) that considers important group-level cultural and contextual information is an important public health challenge in need of innovative solutions. Methods We describe ways that the Latinx population is poised to benefit from MBAs. We further elucidate challenges, describe potential solutions, and outline a research agenda that may hold promise for building a more inclusive mindfulness movement. Results Our recommendations center around developing nuanced cultural adaptations to MBAs, engaging Latinx individuals in research, increasing the rigor of scientific studies pertaining to Latinx individuals, relying on implementation science to develop innovative methods for disseminating MBAs to Latinx individuals, developing training and certification mechanisms to increase diversity and representation of Latinx mindfulness teachers, and creating mechanisms for the oversight of MBAs within this group. Conclusions There has been a lack of inclusivity of Latinx individuals in the field of MBAs with regards to research studies, barriers to access for economically disadvantaged groups, and lack of diversity in its workforce. Considering the recognition of adverse social drivers of health that generate chronic stress and health disparities, the Latinx population is especially poised to benefit greatly from MBAs. A diverse and inclusive mindfulness science holds promise to enhance the effectiveness, acceptability, feasibility, and wide-scale dissemination and implementation of MBAs.

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a difficult form of abuse to detect, with the peak age of reports from 13 to 15 years old. The recent revision of the Philippine school curriculum provided an opportunity to incorporate an educational intervention for prevention of CSA. This study aimed to improve the teachers' and students' knowledge, skills and attitudes on disclosure, identification, and reporting of CSA. This research is a two-phase proof-of-concept crosssectional study of 237 teachers and 1,458 Grade 7 students from 2 public high schools in metro Manila over a twoyear period. Phase 1 involved in-service training curriculum for all teachers on the recognizing, recording, reporting, and referral (4R's) of child abuse and establishment of a referral and support system. Outcome measures included pre-and post-tests and number of CSA reports. Phase 2 involved implementation of eight student modules through the Health and Values Education subjects of the curriculum. Outcome measures were pre-and post-intervention measurement of abuse and module content. Training of teachers resulted in an increase in confidence for identifying CSA from 25% to 57%, and a decrease in apprehension of reporting CSA from 40% to 33%. The Safe Schools for Teens intervention significantly improved self-reported knowledge on abuse, dating violence, and how to help friends as well as on adolescent's impulse control and emotional clarity. There was a significant decline from pre-to post-intervention in self-reported experiences of dating violence which includes physical, sexual and emotional violence, t(793) ¼ 3.363, p ¼ 001 as well as a significant decline in self-reported experiences of emotional abuse from a dating partner, t(837) ¼ 2.693, p ¼ 0.008. The Safe Schools for Teens intervention increases awareness and reporting of child sexual abuse. The intervention also reduces dating violence highlighting that the mindfulness focused approach in connection with systems strengthening is useful for addressing adolescent violence.
