“…For some, the C-CELE reshaped their sociocultural context. This study's findings correlated with Baer, Smith, and Allen (2004), who revealed that experiential situations heighten emotional reaction and that emotional reaction toward content in association with experience generated profound levels of knowledge acquisition, which, according to the data from this study, had positive repercussions that transferred into awareness.…”

This is a case study that critically explored issues of diversity in a state with a large American Indian population.Despite the success of some universities many are still struggling to identify the characteristics of a healthy diversified campus as evidenced by the constant scrutiny of higher education accreditation bodies. The scrutiny stems from a wide range of issues including: aspects of institutional life, student enrollment and retention, faculty engagement, curriculum development and institutional outcomes. Perhaps the most important challenge facing many universities is the need to improve the effectiveness of their diversity initiatives. In fact, many universities are feeling a heightened sense of urgency to improve their initiatives as well as generate positive diversity outcomes.The Cross-Cultural Experiential Learning Excursion (C-CELE) is an initiative that provides a profound experience using diverse pedagogies including Indigenous and critical pedagogies that places agents of change throughout the institution and around key faculties.

The effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on wound healing: a preliminary study

et al. 2017

Psychological factors have been shown to influence the process of wound healing. This study examined the effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on the speed of wound healing. The local production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors was studied as potential underlying mechanism. Forty-nine adults were randomly allocated to a waiting-list control group (n = 26) or an 8-week MBSR group (n = 23). Preand post-intervention/waiting period assessment for both groups consisted of questionnaires. Standardized skin wounds were induced on the forearm using a suction blister method. Primary outcomes were skin permeability and reduction in wound size monitored once a day at day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 after injury. Secondary outcomes were cytokines and growth factors and were measured in wound exudates obtained at 3, 6, and 22 h after wounding. Although there was no overall condition effect on skin permeability or wound size, post hoc analyses indicated that larger increases in mindfulness were related to greater reductions in skin permeability 3 and 4 days after wound induction. In addition, MBSR was associated with lower levels of interleukin (IL)-8 and placental growth factor in the wound fluid 22 h after wound induction. These outcomes suggest that increasing mindfulness by MBSR might

“…Current literature has highlighted the difficulty in defining the construct of mindfulness in self-report questionnaires (Baer, Smith, & Allen, 2004) and in selfreport assessment (Grossman, 2011). The understanding of a construct such as being in the moment or nonjudgmental awareness will differ from those with experience in mindfulness and those who are novices (Grossman, 2011).…”

Effectiveness of Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness Tools in Reducing Depression and Anxiety: A Mixed Method Study

Depression and anxiety continue to be among the most common mental disorders. This study looked at three tracks of participants diagnosed with a mood disorder. The three tracks were Cognitive Therapy (CT), Mindfulness Training (MT), and Treatment As Usual (TAU). All participants had been trained in CT and then randomly separated into three groups. These three tracks were assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months in terms of their stated level of depression (measured on the Beck Depression Inventory) and anxiety (measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory). This study was a follow-up to two previous studies (Alexander et al., 2012; Alexander & Tatum, 2013). In the current study, the participants reported the tools and skills they used to manage their mood and anxiety and then the effectiveness of these tools/skills was examined. Two tools were identified by three independent coders as the most frequently used by the participants. Both of these tools related to thought management ("thought records" and "thought distortions"). The two tools were combined into a single category ("thought tools") and the frequency of their use was examined in relation to reductions in depression and anxiety. The results showed that a high use of these tools was connected to a significant reduction in reported depression. There was also a reduction in reported anxiety, but this effect was not statistically significant. Other tools that were reported (e.g., mood tracking, relaxation) showed no significant effects on depression and anxiety. Future research will now focus not on reported tool use, but rather on manipulating the incidence of tool use and determine the direct causal path between using a thought tool and reductions in negative moods.
