A Controlled Study of a Group Mindfulness Intervention for Individuals Living With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

“…Cohen's d was calculated with the R package "compute.es" using the least squares mean (M LS ) difference and SE for the treatment group effect taken from the analysis of covariance models. Consistent with recommendations and previous research, 45,46 exploring the potential impact of missing data, missing values at after intervention or 6 months after intervention follow-ups were replaced by imputed values (m ¼ 10 imputed data sets were created, using the R package "Amelia"). The analysis of covariance analyses were rerun using the imputed data, and the results from each data set were pooled using the R package "mitools" to produce an overall M LS difference, SE, and 95% confidence interval.…”

Identity and self-esteem in the context of music and music therapy: a review

“…The final sample included 9 studies of intervention effects (Aldridge et al, 2005;Chen, Hannibal, & Gold, 2016;Clendenon-Wallen, 1991;Grocke et al, 2014;Haines, 1989;Hanser & Thompson, 1994;Henderson, 1983;Sharma & Jagdev, 2012;Wu, 2002), 1 case study (Smeijsters & van den Hurk, 1999), 2 exploratory studies (Daykin, McClean, & Bunt, 2007;Pavlicevic, O'Neil, Powell, Jones, & Sampathianaki, 2014) and 2 theoretical articles (Amir, 2012;Gleadhill & Ferris, 2010). Sample sizes ranged from 1 (Smeijsters & van den Hurk, 1999) to 200 (Chen et al, 2016).…”

“…We included types of participants with the following problems/diagnosis: adjustment reaction (Henderson, 1983), lacking crucial self-esteem and self-concept (Haines, 1989), severe learning disabilities (Pavlicevic et al, 2014), problems due to fear, depression, and low self-esteem (Wu, 2002), low self-esteem and high academic stress (Sharma & Jagdev, 2012), adolescents who had been sexually abused in the past (Clendenon-Wallen, 1991), prisoners (Chen et al, 2016), severe mental illness (Grocke et al, 2014), depression of various degrees of severity and schizophrenia (Hanser & Thompson, 1994), an adult woman who had problems in finding her personal identity and suffered badly from grief, low self-esteem, and feelings of depression (Smeijsters & van den Hurk, 1999), patients diagnosed with cancer (Daykin et al, 2007), multiple sclerosis (Aldridge et al, 2005), and dissociative identity disorder (Gleadhill & Ferris, 2010). In summary, 5 trials included children up to 18 years old, and 6 concerned adults.…”

“…Music in and of itself is an important part of youth cultures and has an important psychological role to play in their lives. Grocke et al (2014) determined whether group therapy had a positive impact on quality of life, social enrichment, self-esteem, spirituality, and psychiatric symptoms of participants with severe mental illness, and how they experienced the intervention. The authors included 99 individuals who were randomized to either weekly group MT followed by SC or SC followed by group MT.…”

“…Um psychische Erkrankungen zu verbessern, wurde Gruppen-M.therapie mit gemeinsamem Singen und Wiedergabe bekannter Lieder durchgeführt und dabei Lebensqualität, soziale Bereicherung, Selbstwertgefühl, Spiritualität und psychiatrische Symptome gemessen (Grocke et al 2014 …”
