“…Whereas negative interpretations of the pandemic and engaging less in daily mindfulness practice was linked with deteriorated mental health [ 55 ]. Mindfulness is a cost-effective therapeutic technique which has shown utility in clinical and community settings [ 56 ]. Due to the pre-pandemic effectiveness of mindfulness in protecting emotional wellbeing, current findings suggest integrating mindfulness-based support groups and resources in community settings and online as signposting resources may offer antenatal mental health benefits.…”

Initial COVID-19-related social distancing restrictions, imposed in the UK in March 2020, and the subsequent lifting of restrictions in May 2020 caused antenatal disruption and stress which exceeded expected vulnerabilities associated with this lifecourse transition. The current study aimed to explore the antenatal psychological experiences of women during different phases of pandemic-related lockdown restrictions in the UK. Semi-structured interviews were held with 24 women about their antenatal experiences: twelve were interviewed after the initial lockdown restrictions (Timepoint 1; T1), and a separate twelve women were interviewed after the subsequent lifting of those restrictions (Timepoint 2; T2). Interviews were transcribed and a recurrent, cross-sectional thematic analysis was conducted. Two themes were identified for each timepoint, and each theme contained sub-themes. T1 themes were: ‘A Mindful Pregnancy’ and ‘It’s a Grieving Process’, and T2 themes were: ‘Coping with Lockdown Restrictions’ and ‘Robbed of Our Pregnancy’. COVID-19 related social distancing restrictions had an adverse effect on women’s mental health during the antenatal period. Feeling trapped, anxious, and abandoned were common at both timepoints. Actively encouraging conversations about mental wellbeing during routine care and adopting a prevention opposed to cure attitude toward implementing additional support provisions may serve to improve antenatal psychological wellbeing during health crises.

Background: Intervention in the management of anxiety is an approach that is currently being developed by researchers in various countries. This research needs the latest information and trends for future research topics related to cognitive behavior therapy interventions, mindfulness, relax, and support for anxiety in preoperative patients. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the mapping of network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization using the VOSviewer application on the topic of the influence of cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, relax, and support (commind relax support) on the anxiety of preoperative patients. Methods: Data analysis used bibliometrics in this study. Search data using the web via http://app.dimensions.ai. Journals or data are limited from 2017-2023, which focus on the fields of health sciences, nursing, clinical sciences, public health, and types of publications are articles. The data is analyzed to become a bibliometric map using VOSviewer. Results: The results of data identification through dimensions.ai contained 24,099 data recorded, by sorting based on the type of article and type of document the results found were 645 articles. The peak of publications on cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, relax, and support for preoperative anxiety occurred in 2020 and the lowest was in 2023. Research on cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, relax, and support for preoperative anxiety is not only carried out in the health sector , medicine, nursing, and psychology but are found in other fields as well. Conclusion: The topic of preoperative anxiety management interventions is a topic that needs to be further developed in various countries, especially in developing countries. Suggestions for other researchers, choose a topic that is included in low visualization to find research updates.

“…All of these have obvious benefits for the surgical team. To date, mindfulness practice has predominantly focused on the individual, with studies showing effectiveness for the surgeon and the patient 7,8 . However, less is known about its effect for all health care professionals in the theatre team.…”

BackgroundA surgical team works in a high‐performance environment and is exposed to stress. Mindfulness practice is evidenced to reduce symptoms of stress, as well as burnout, which is high amongst health workers. The operating theatre is unique, with many job‐roles, needs and time‐critical tasks. It is plausible that group mindfulness may benefit the surgical team. This evaluates the take‐5 theatre brief, consisting of a ‘check‐in’ and short breathwork, when used by two surgical teams as part of the regular theatre team brief.ApproachThe take‐5 theatre brief was evaluated using domains of acceptability and implementation. Data were collected at two district general hospitals in the United Kingdom using 5‐point Likert scales hosted on electronic surveys Thematic analysis was performed of participant voice notes, strategic meeting notes and transcripts of interviews between key informants.EvaluationThere were 17 participants. Ten were from site A (59%), with the remainder being from site B (41%) and covered a range of roles within the theatre team. Participants found the take‐5 theatre brief helpful (median Likert 5) and felt that it would benefit themselves (median Likert 5) as well as the team (median Likert 5) and that it fitted into the day easily (median Likert 4). There was a high demand, no financial investment was required and overall it was easy to implement; however, it became challenged in theatre lists that were late to start.ImplicationThe take‐5 theatre brief is an acceptable initiative for these two operating theatre teams.
