“…The development of MBIs has been likened to a process whereby ‘Buddhist meditation has been lifted from its traditional setting in Buddhist doctrine and faith and transplanted in a secularised culture bent on pragmatic results’ (Bodhi, , p. 35). A range of definitions of ‘mindfulness’ have been proposed (Anālayo, ). However, a widely cited description suggests that mindfulness involves ‘paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non‐judgmentally’ (Kabat‐Zinn, , p. 4).…”

Objectives Acceptance and mindfulness‐based interventions (A/ MBI s) are recommended for people with mental health conditions. Although there is a growing evidence base supporting the effectiveness of different A/ MBI s for mental health conditions, the economic case for these interventions has not been fully explored. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and appraise all available economic evidence of A/ MBI s for the management of mental health conditions. Methods Eight electronic bibliographic databases ( MEDLINE , MEDLINE In‐Process & Other Non‐Indexed Citations, EMBASE , Web of Science, NHS Economic Evaluation Database ( EED ), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects ( DARE ), Health Technology Assessment ( HTA ) database, and EconLit) were searched for relevant economic evaluations published from each database's inception date until November 2017. Study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction were carried out according to published guidelines. Results Ten relevant economic evaluations presented in 11 papers were identified. Seven of the included studies were full economic evaluations (i.e., costs and effects assessed), and three studies were partial economic evaluations (i.e., only costs were considered in the analysis). The A/ MBI s that had been subjected to economic evaluation were acceptance and commitment therapy ( ACT ), dialectical behaviour therapy ( DBT ), mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy ( MBCT ), and mindfulness‐based stress reduction ( MBSR ). In terms of clinical presentations, the evaluation of cost‐effectiveness of A/ MBI s has been more focused on depression and emotional unstable personality disorder with three and four economic evaluations, respectively. Three out of seven full economic evaluations observed that A/ MBI s were cost‐effective for the management of mental health conditions. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of included populations, interventions, and economic evaluation study types limits the extent to which firm conclusions can currently be made. Conclusion This first substantive review of economic evaluations of A/ MBI s indicates that more research is needed before firm conclusions can be reached on the cost‐effectiveness of A/ MBI s for mental health conditions. Practitioner points The findings of the review provide information that may be relevant to mental health service commissioners and decision‐make...

“…Recent research suggests that caregivers can enhance the self-management of their psychological stress by engaging in a disciplined practice of meditation ( Singh, 2014 ). There are several mechanisms that may come into play when a caregiver regularly practices meditation, especially mindfulness ( Anālayo, 2016 ). For example, enhanced mindfulness may provide caregivers better emotional self-regulation during periods of acute stress.…”

Effectiveness of Caregiver Training in Mindfulness-Based Positive Behavior Support (MBPBS) vs. Training-as-Usual (TAU): A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2016

Caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often end up having their medical and psychological well-being compromised due to the stressful nature of caregiving, especially when those in their care engage in aggressive behavior. In this study, we provided caregivers with mindfulness-based training to enable them to better manage their psychological well-being and, through this, to also enhance specific indices of quality of life of the individuals in their care. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) the comparative effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Positive Behavior Support (MBPBS) and Training-as-Usual (TAU) for caregivers in a congregate care facility for individuals with severe and profound IDD. The comparative effects of the two training conditions were assessed in terms of caregiver variables care recipient variable (number of aggressive events), and agency variables Results showed that MBPBS was significantly more effective than TAU in enabling the caregivers to manage their perceived psychological stress, and to reduce the use of physical restraints and stat medications for aggressive behavior of the individuals in their care. In addition, there were significant reductions in aggressive events by the individuals in their care, 1:1 staffing of individuals with aggressive behavior, and staff turnover. Furthermore, the MBPBS training was significantly more cost-effective than the TAU training. If replicated in future RCT studies, MBPBS may provide an effective means of enhancing socially acceptable bidirectional engagement of caregivers and care recipients within a person-centered context.

“…In my original publication, I argued that mindfulness of breathing is preferably not conceptualized as a form of remembering (Anālayo 2016a(Anālayo , p. 1274(Anālayo , 2017a. Although to remain with the breath requires working memory, this differs from the episodic type of memory described in the canonical definition of sati.…”

“…The standard canonical definition of mindfulness and its implications are the main point of departure of my own exploration (Anālayo 2016a(Anālayo , p. 1273 and the full text in Anālayo 2017a, p. 26n16). In the case of an occurrence of this definition in the Aṅguttara-nikāya (AN IV 111), the Pāli expression paramena satinepakkena samannāgato has a counterpart in the relevant Chinese parallel in Bbeing endowed with right mindfulness,^成就正念 (T I 423a).…”

“…One of these aspects is the relationship between mindfulness and memory (Anālayo 2016a(Anālayo , p. 1273(Anālayo -1275(Anālayo , 2017a. Based on the standard canonical definition of mindfulness as a quality related to recollecting and remembering what has been done or said long ago, I argued for the need to make sense of this relationship without going so far as to equate mindfulness with memory.…”
