“…Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP; Paterson, 1996) is a short, four-item, participantdirected instrument which is designed to measure change over time for participant-chosen problems or issues which hold a particular salience for them. The MYMOP has been successfully used to assess change over time for a variety of client groups (Hill, Eckett, Paterson, & Harkness, 1999).…”

The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of implementing a new 8‐week mindfulness‐based programme, ‘Mindfulness‐Based Coping with University Life’ (MBCUL), specifically tailored to the needs and demand of students and to explore its impact in a pilot evaluation. Participants were drawn from the University of Northampton (MBCUL N = 10; control N = 6). A non‐randomized wait‐list‐controlled design was employed. Measures examined anxiety and depression, perceived stress, mindfulness and personally relevant change before and immediately after the programme. The diurnal profile of salivary cortisol and alpha‐amylase level was collected for two consecutive days. No significant intergroup differences were observed on any of the measures at either time point. However, significant change was observed for the MBCUL group in terms of perceived stress (d = 1.06; z = −2.25, p = 0.03), anxiety (d = 1.04; z = −2.14, p = 0.03), depression (d = 0.52; z = −0.69, p = 0.5) and personally relevant change (d = 2.63; z = −2.68, p = 0.01), along with an increase in mindfulness (d = 1.06; z = −1.89, p = 0.06). In contrast, no significant change was found in the daily profiles of cortisol and alpha‐amylase. The data from this pilot tentatively suggest that MBCUL appears to be a promising programme that warrants further evaluation using a randomized study with a larger sample size.

“…18 To this end, although rarely designated as specific Kneipp applications, there are indeed many scientific studies reporting the effectiveness of hydrotherapeutic methods. They are, for example, documented to be effective in a range of medical conditions, spanning from anxiety disorders, 30 chronic pain, 31 back pain, 32,33 Guillain-Barré syndrome, 34 osteoarthritis, 35,36 fibromyalgia, 37 and ankylosing spondylitis 38 to cardiovascular conditions. 39,40 Hydrotherapy has also been successfully used in the improvement of geriatric cognitive brain function, 41 for athletic recovery, 42 and after hip and knee replacement.…”

The Legacy of Sebastian Kneipp: Linking Wellness, Naturopathic, and Allopathic Medicine

Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897) is seen as a vital link between the European nature cure movement of the 19th century and American naturopathy. He promoted a holistic treatment concept founded on five pillars: hydro- and phytotherapy, exercise, balanced nutrition, and regulative therapy. Kneipp attempted to bridge the gap with allopathic medicine, and many modern treatments that are based on his methods indeed blend wellness elements with naturopathic medicine and biomedicine. Because Kneipp's approach to health and healing today are mainly covered in German literature, this paper aims to provide a broader international audience with insights into his life and his treatment methods and to highlight the profound influence Kneipp has had to this day on natural and preventive medicine. The paper emphasizes in particular the continued popularity of Kneipp's holistic approach to health and well-being, which is evident in the many national and international Kneipp Associations, the globally operating Kneipp Werke, postgraduate qualifications in his treatment methods, and the existence of more than 60 accredited Kneipp spas and health resorts in Germany alone.
