“…A facilitating factor was whether users were able to identify with the people presented in the intervention [ 166 ], which could be coaches or instructors, or examples of people with similar experiences. Factors that make the information relevant and in a language suitable to the user included culturally appropriate content [ 133 , 167 , 168 ], reading level suitable to the user [ 168 ], and content presented with limited jargon or technical language [ 169 ].…”

Background Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs), which deliver mental health support via technologies such as mobile apps, can increase access to mental health support, and many studies have demonstrated their effectiveness in improving symptoms. However, user engagement varies, with regard to a user’s uptake and sustained interactions with these interventions. Objective This systematic review aims to identify common barriers and facilitators that influence user engagement with DMHIs. Methods A systematic search was conducted in the SCOPUS, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Empirical studies that report qualitative and/or quantitative data were included. Results A total of 208 articles met the inclusion criteria. The included articles used a variety of methodologies, including interviews, surveys, focus groups, workshops, field studies, and analysis of user reviews. Factors extracted for coding were related to the end user, the program or content offered by the intervention, and the technology and implementation environment. Common barriers included severe mental health issues that hampered engagement, technical issues, and a lack of personalization. Common facilitators were social connectedness facilitated by the intervention, increased insight into health, and a feeling of being in control of one’s own health. Conclusions Although previous research suggests that DMHIs can be useful in supporting mental health, contextual factors are important determinants of whether users actually engage with these interventions. The factors identified in this review can provide guidance when evaluating DMHIs to help explain and understand user engagement and can inform the design and development of new digital interventions.

“…It also improves the self-care level and perceived social support in these patients and elevates the socialization level and establishment of communication with others (30). The mindfulness-based stress reduction program enhances the adaptation and endurance power, creates a sense of hopefulness, and causes more positive responses to develop the treatment; hence, more treatment outcomes are obtained (31).…”

“…It has been shown in the studies that this treatment helps improve the distressing emotions and regulation of them in patients with HIV/AIDS (3). Therefore, it can be concluded that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can reduce perceived stress and the patients' defective patterns so it can be applied independently or along with other treatment methods like medication to improve the psychological and behavioral problems stemming from sleep quality (33).…”

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) is the factor causing AIDS. The virus is categorized into retroviruses that attack and destroy the immune system of the body and cause lethal infections. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in the improvement of sleep quality and perceived social support of the patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods: The present study is randomized controlled trial research. The study population included individuals with HIV-AIDS from Ahvaz county's center of behavioral disease counseling. The study sample volume consisted of two groups, named mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy and control groups, each one contained 15 individuals who were selected randomly. The experimental intervention was undertaken during eight 1.5-hour sessions that were held once a week. To gather the data, the sleep quality scale, perceived social support questionnaire, SCL-90-R scale, and demographic factors questionnaire were used. Multivariate covariance analysis and SPSS-22 Software were utilized for analyzing the data. Results: In terms of gender, the experimental group consisted of 8 (53.3) women and 7 (46.7) men. In the control group, 4 (26.7) were women and 11 (73.3) were men. The mean (standard deviation) age of the participants in the experimental group was 35.7 (7.42) and the mean (standard deviation) of the age of the control group was 37.8 (9.1). The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy had a significant effect on sleep quality (F = 27.98, P < 0.001) and perceived social support (F = 36.20, P < 0.001) in patients with HIV/AIDS. Conclusions: It can be concluded that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is effective in improving the sleep quality and perceived social support of patients with HIV/AIDS. Based on the results of this study, it seems that by teaching mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, patients' sleep quality and perceived social support can be reduced.

“…As mentioned previously, improving mental health has positive improvements on perinatal health. 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).…”

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.
