“…Mind-body interventions are often cost-effective and scalable interventions that can be delivered in diverse settings including non-clinical, community based settings [75]. Mind-body interventions can positively influence both physical and mental health, therefore may reduce associated stigma and fear surrounding postpartum depression and in turn, encourage participation [76], particularly in under-resourced populations [75].…”

Postpartum depression affects parents across all social, economic, and racial groups. While there are many factors that may contribute to depressive symptoms in the postpartum period, under-resourced populations and ethnic minorities are documented to experience higher rates. Traditional psychotherapeutic methods have shown success in mitigating depressive symptoms; however, these treatments are not always accessible and/or utilized, particularly in populations with the highest need. Mind-body interventions have become increasingly popular in addressing perinatal mental health, and new and innovative approaches are currently being evaluated to determine their efficacy with respect to treating postpartum depression. This scoping review highlights published clinical trials, interventions, meta-analyses, and reviews conducted in the last 20 years and examines how each method applies to meet the needs of postpartum parents, and particularly under-resourced populations.

“…Similarly, it is mentioned that an enhanced level of mindfulness is shown to have a significant relationship with reducing depression and stress, leading to better self-control and a more positive outlook on life ( Lo et al, 2018 ; Epel et al, 2019 ) Mindfulness-based training has been studied extensively for its potential to improve mental health and happiness. Mindfulness practices promote positive adaptation to adversity, which reduces psychological distress, raises happiness levels, and improves PWB ( Jiga et al, 2018 ).…”

BackgroundBy using a practice like mindfulness, people may become more adaptable and flexible in difficult situations, which lowers the levels of unfavorable experiences. Only a small number of research have examined the connection between mindfulness and resilience, with mindfulness as a source of PWB influencing millennials’ resilience when faced with adversity. This study sought to close this gap by exploring the role that mindfulness practice plays in millennials’ PWB and subsequent increases in resilience to adversity.MethodsIn this study, key components linked to mindfulness, PWB, and resilience are combined with a thorough literature assessment. Millennials who are active members of the Ti-Ratana Youth in Malaysia and the Buddhist Missionary Society of Malaysia (BMSM) Youth Section make up the study’s sample population. Before completing the online survey form, each participant was instructed to engage in 4 weeks of supervised mindfulness practice. To assure the validity of the data gathered, it was crucial to secure the youth’s commitment. Only 231 of the 300 respondents who received the link to the online survey had replies that could be used for further research. To analyze the collected data and conduct hypothesis testing, Smart-PLS was used.ResultsAcademic research has shown that factors, such as a heavy workload, time constraints, lengthy workdays, work-related home conflicts, and an unstable and uncertain environment all lead to a drop in PWB. According to the findings, the two most significant variables promoting resilience are mindfulness and positive PWB. The outcomes of this experimental study confirmed earlier findings that millennials’ PWB and resilience are enhanced by mindfulness training.ConclusionThe study’s findings suggest that, in times of high uncertainty, mindfulness-based intervention programs should be expanded to include all young people. This study offers empirical support for the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in raising PWB and resilience.

“…Therefore, participants were women in one of the following living situations: (1) women who lived outdoors (on streets, public space or outside); (2) women in emergency accommodation (without habitual place of residence that make night use of shelters); or (3) women in accommodation for homeless people (they live with short to medium intervals in shelters for the homeless, temporary accommodation or temporary supportive accommodation). Furthermore, only women who had attended at least 6 of the 12 sessions were included in the analyses (i.e., minimal treatment exposure), consistent with other studies in this population (Jiga et al, 2019;Santa Maria et al, 2020). Homeless women were excluded if (1) were diagnosed with a severe mental disorder in active phase (i.e.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders adapted for homeless women (UPHW). Eighty-one homeless women participated in this single-blinded quasi-experimental clinical trial, involving up to 12 sessions of group treatment, and 3-and 6-month follow-ups. The participants received either immediate treatment with the UPHW ( n = 46) or delayed treatment, following a 12-week wait-list control period (WLC; n = 35). Primary outcomes included depression and anxiety. Secondary measures comprised positive and negative affect, psychological well-being, health perception, and social support. The UPHW resulted in significant improvement on measures of anxiety, depression and negative affect. Improvements in anxiety and depression were maintained over a 3-month follow-up period, but not at 6-month. The reliability of the clinical changes showed significant differences between UPHW and WLC for depression. Moreover, the inter-session assessment in the UPHW group showed a linear trend reduction for depression and anxiety scores along the 12 sessions. The clinical implications on the UPHW in social settings are also discussed.
