“…Findings support that among this vulnerable group that the intervention is not only feasible and acceptable but also resulted in a clinically meaningful decrease in systolic BP. Similar to other studies of mindfulness interventions for African Americans, the intervention occurred in a familiar location, connected mindfulness with the concept of self, and used culturally familiar language 4,8,20 . Median attendance rates for participants in the current pilot study was slightly lower than Palta 7 and colleagues' study of older hypertensive African Americans, but similar to the recommended target attendance of at least six sessions by Woods‐Giscombe and colleagues' study of prediabetic African Americans 8 .…”

Objectives Hypertension increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. This pilot study's purpose was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel intervention, Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension DASH (MIM DASH), to improve diet, mindfulness, stress, and systolic blood pressure (BP) in older African Americans with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and hypertension. Design Cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting Intergenerational community center in a large metropolitan area. Participants African Americans with MCI and hypertension. Participants were divided into six groups randomized 1:1:1 to the MIM DASH group, attention only (non‐hypertensive education) group, or true control group. The MIM DASH and attention only interventions were delivered in 8‐weekly 2 hour group sessions. MIM included mindful movements from chair/standing, breathing exercises, and guided meditation. The DASH component used a critical thinking approach of problem solving, goal setting, reflection, and self‐efficacy. The true control group received a DASH pamphlet at the end. Measurements Feasibility was tracked through enrollment and attendance records; acceptability was assessed through interviews. Blood pressure was measured using the Omron HEM‐907XL Monitor. Dietary intake was measured by DASH‐Q. Mindfulness was measured by the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale. Stress was measured by the Perceived Stress Scale. MCI was determined using the Self‐Administered Gerocognitive Examination. Data were collected at baseline and 3‐months. Results Median session attendance was six for the MIM DASH group and six for the attention only group. There were no changes in diet, mindfulness, or stress. There was a clinically significant reduction in systolic BP in the MIM DASH group (−7.2 mmHg) relative to the attention only group (−.7), and no change between the MIM DASH and true control groups. Conclusion Results indicate that the MIM DASH intervention was feasible and culturally acceptable in African Americans with hypertension and MCI.

“…Mindfulness has been used with African-Americans and shown feasibility, acceptability, and decreased stress, reduced depressive and anxiety symptoms, decreased suicidal ideation, and lowered blood pressure (Burnett-Zeigler, Hong, et al, 2019; Burnett-Zeigler, Satyshur, et al, 2019; Dutton et al, 2013; Hunter-Jones et al, 2019; Spears et al, 2017; Woods-Giscombé & Black, 2010). African-American women who have participated in mindfulness interventions also report benefits of these interventions, such as feeling calm, relaxed, and more in control of their emotions, behaviors, and focus (Burnett-Zeigler, Satyshur, et al, 2019). Moreover, researchers have attempted mindfulness research in African-American women to decrease pregnancy-related stress and depression (Zhang & Emory, 2015).…”

“…First, it is imperative to assess the effectiveness of culturally responsive mindfulness interventions in mitigating the factors that contribute to perinatal health disparities among African-American women. Such research would fill a notable gap given that research on mindfulness and African-American women is limited and consisting of small sample sizes (Burnett-Zeigler, Hong, et al, 2019; Burnett-Zeigler, Satyshur, et al, 2019; Dutton et al, 2013). Moreover, there are few studies with African-American perinatal women and/or African-American women with preterm infants (Richman & Zucker, 2019; Zhang & Emory, 2015).…”

“…In one study, that examined mindfulness engagement in low-income African-American women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), findings revealed that women struggled with attendance (Dutton et al, 2013). This could have been due to accessibility barriers, such as family and job responsibilities and transportation (Burnett-Zeigler, Satyshur, et al, 2019). Third, it would be important to assess the key characteristics that are needed to facilitate acceptability and cultural relevance of perinatal mindfulness.…”

Perinatal African-American women experience perinatal health disparities with increased levels of stress. Stress includes exposure to racism and sexism for African-American women. African-American perinatal women need a culturally tailored intervention to decrease stress and improve health. Culturally tailored interventions are more effective than non-adapted interventions. Mindfulness can reduce stress and improve health and may be an ideal intervention to culturally modify for perinatal African-American women. We will first discuss stress and its impact on perinatal health. Second, we will present stress and intersectionality for perinatal African-American women. Third, we will describe the existing research on mindfulness and its proposed benefits for perinatal women. Finally, we will highlight culturally responsive mindfulness approaches and how these may be uniquely suited to target and mitigate perinatal stress outcomes and promote healthy behaviors.

“…One of the newest works reviewed acceptability of financial incentives directed to patients for health-related behavior change (Hoskins et al 2019). Burnett-Zeigler et al (2019) studied the acceptability and feasibility of a mindfulnessbased group intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged women in an urban community health center with qualitative research techniques. Mock and Sethares (2019) tested concurrent validity and acceptability of the single item literacy screener, functional health literacy, and the newest vital sign in hospitalized adults with heart failure.…”

Acceptability of activities; Acceptability of processes; Legitimacy of operations; License to operate Definition Acceptability is a value-bound social concept applied commonly when referring to societal relationships between an organization and involved groups, i.e., judges that evaluate operations or actions of the unit. The acceptability of a matter reflects the values of a society at a certain point in time and place. A value refers to choices are which are (1) adopted from the surroundings, (2) considered in common, (3) permanent, and (4) concerned with the defined targets (Allardt 1983). The other value-related feature is the matter of judgment. This entails the process that a judge evaluates the value-based matter and gives standards and criteria to the matter. Fredrick (1995) considered each person's having personal values, which characterizes values as capable of expressing relative human diversity in social time and space. Values tend to follow new social trends. The general substances of value characterize the concept giving the changing feature to the concept of acceptability. As a value, it is relatively permanent in nature, although value changes do occur for various reasons and can operate in different directions. Changes in social, cultural, demographic, economic, and technological factors can often be identified behind the value development (Karppinen 1998). The changing nature is one of the major limitations of the acceptability concept when standardizing organizational operations and process through the third-party judgment. The acceptance is closely related to operations that interact closely with surrounding societies. Consequently, the concept of acceptability is used in practice when referring to societal relationships within socially sensitive sectors, such as natural resources-based sectors, sectors related to basic needs, like food, water, and energy, or other type necessities, or health care and medical sectors.
