“…Literature regarding mindfulness in youth, however, has just begun emerging, and questions about how to adapt these interventions to youth and adolescents remains to be explored (Kostova, Levin, Lorberg, & Ziedonis, 2019). For example, plasticity as a function of mindfulness practice is still largely unknown within the developing brain, even though it has been shown in adults (Bauer, Caballero, Scherer, West, Mrazek, & Phillips, 2019).…”

Exposure to early life adversity (ELA) is a major public health crisis posing as a significant risk of immediate and sustained mental and physical health consequences. While a remarkable body of knowledge has been amassed showing psychological, cognitive, social, developmental, and neurobiological consequences of ELA exposure, little has been done to improve the longterm mental and physical health outcomes for youth exposed to ELA. Furthermore, neurobiological processes underlying poor outcomes in this population have been largely left out of prevention and intervention target efforts. In this review, we first describe ELA-related alterations across psychological and neurobiological systems in children and adolescents. Next, we describe existing evidence-based interventions targeting ELA-related outcomes. We then turn to experimental studies examining individual differences in mechanistic functioning consequent to ELA exposure, and strategies that target these mechanisms and modulate disrupted functioning. Finally, we highlight areas of future research that may be promising in engaging behavioral and neurobiological targets through novel preventive interventions or augmentation of existing interventions, thereby reducing negative mental and physical health outcomes later in life.

“…Three systematic reviews about mindfulness interventions with the adolescent were reviewed (Cheang, Gillions, & Sparkes, 2019;Kostova, Levin, Lorberg, & Ziedonis, 2019;McKeering & Hwang, 2019). McKeering and Hwang (2019) examined mindfulness interventions delivered to the adolescent population in schools.…”

“…Eleven of the 13 studies in their review found positive improvements in mental health. Kostova et al (2019) reviewed mindfulness interventions, which included adolescents experiencing mental health conditions and found that interventions were feasible and well accepted, however clinical outcomes needed further investigation. Lastly, Cheang et al (2019) explored the impact of mindfulness on empathy and compassion in adolescents and found some evidence to suggest that mindfulness increases self-compassion amongst this population.…”

Objectives: This systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine the best way to design mindfulness interventions for perinatal adolescent mothers to support mental health during the transition to parenthood and beyond. Perinatal adolescents face unique challenges compared to adults due to their developmental stage and difficulties accessing social determinants of health. Mindfulness educational interventions may be an ideal addition to perinatal supports to foster resilience and teach skills to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Methods: A search strategy was developed to identify articles from 6 electronic databases including PsycInfo, ProQuest, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid, and CINAHL. Qualitative analysis was done to identify mindfulness interventions which significantly decrease anxiety, depression or stress and to determine the components and designs of these interventions. Participants’ satisfaction with the interventions were analyzed, when available. Best practices for designing interventions for adolescents were used to recommend adaptations to the mindfulness interventions to tailor them to the perinatal adolescent population. Results: Of the 561 studies retrieved from the search, 16 met the inclusion criteria. All included studies found at last one significant decrease in mental health outcomes (stress 9 of 13, anxiety 9 of 9; depression 9 of 14). The majority of the interventions began in the perinatal period, were delivered face-to-face, included homework, multiple sessions and by a trained professional. Conclusion: Mindfulness interventions are feasible, acceptable and effective in adult perinatal populations. Components and design of these interventions could be adapted for perinatal adolescents to increase resilience to cope with unique parenthood challenges.

Günümüzdeki bilinçli farkındalık uygulamaları daha çok kanıta dayalı bir biçimde ele alınmaktadır (Kostova, Levin, Lorberg, ve Ziedonis, 2019).…”

The aim of this study is to adapt the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale Adolescent Form (MAAS-A) and to conduct its validity and reliability study. This study was conducted on 221 participants, 105 of whom were girls and 116 of them were boys. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to evaluate the construct validity. To determine the reliability of the scale, cronbach's alpha, two-half test reliability and total item correlations were used. Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that, significant chisquare values (χ2 = 131.84, SD = 77, p = .00010) and goodness of fit values are acceptable (RMSEA = .057, GFI = .92, AGFI = .89, CFI = .93 , IFI = .93, NNFI = .92, SRMR = .060). The results of the analysis show that the factor structure of the Turkish form of the scale provides good fit values and that the factor structure of the scale is verified in parallel with the original scale. When examined in terms of reliability values, it is seen that the internal-consistency reliability coefficient of the Turkish form of the scale is .78, two half-test reliability is .76 and the corrected item total correlations are ranked between .26 and .52. The results of the analysis show that the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale Adolescent Turkish Form can be evaluated as a valid and reliable measurement tool.
