“…Informal caregivers typically encompass spouses, immediate family members, close relatives or friends who offer unpaid daily assistance to patients (Zhi et al., 2023). Individuals diagnosed with mental illness exhibit impairments in multiple domains such as occupational and social functioning as well as the ability to live independently and carry out daily activities (López‐Navarro & Al‐Halabí, 2022). Simultaneously, as the incidence of mental illness increases, an increasing number of patients are opting for home‐based treatment, inadvertently placing a greater burden on informal caregivers (Cham et al., 2022).…”

The increasing prevalence of mental illness has resulted in a growing burden on informal caregivers. Mindfulness‐based interventions, as a form of psychotherapy, have shown efficacy in alleviating psychological stress and enhancing emotional and physical well‐being. However, the utilisation of mindfulness‐based interventions for informal caregivers of individuals with mental illness remains limited. The aim of the meta‐analysis is to evaluate the impact of mindfulness‐based interventions on the mental health and well‐being among informal caregivers of people with mental illness. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across seven electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, APA PsycINFO and CINAHL Ultimate) from the inception of these databases until 20 July 2023. Two authors independently screened the studies and extracted the relevant data. The meta‐analysis was performed by using Stata 12.0 software, and the effect sizes were calculated utilising standardised mean difference (SMD) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). The meta‐analysis included 13 studies with 1007 participants, and the results demonstrated that mindfulness‐based interventions were efficacious in reducing stress (SMD = −0.80, 95% CI [−1.33, −0.28], p = 0.003), depression (SMD = −0.43, 95% CI [−0.62, −0.24], p < 0.001) and caregiver burden (SMD = −0.21, 95% CI [−0.40, −0.01], p = 0.038), and enhancing the mindfulness level (SMD = 0.37, 95% CI [0.09, 0.65], P = 0.010) and quality of life (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI [0.04, 0.39], p = 0.015) among informal caregivers of people with mental illness, but not on anxiety reduction (SMD = −0.19, 95% CI [−0.49, 0.10], p = 0.198). Furthermore, future research should aim to employ more rigorous methodologies to confirm the effectiveness.

“…Recent studies emphasized that individuals with SSD who learn to develop a mindful attitude experience less self-stigma and distressing thoughts related to their symptoms ( 60 , 61 ). These effects may be directly linked to specific coping strategies provided for individuals with SSD, that are not otherwise addressed by standard therapeutic options ( 27 ). Such strategies include bringing non-judgmental awareness to the present moment ( 62 ) and reducing mental engagement from internal and external stressors, including those attributed to psychotic experiences ( 26 , 29 ).…”

BackgroundResearch exploring the effects of yoga therapy (YT) on individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) is scarce. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore possible mechanisms of actions and processes, as well as adverse effects of a novel yoga-based group intervention (YoGI) for in-patients with SSD in a German university hospital setting.Material and methodsA longitudinal qualitative study was integrated into a rater-blinded randomized controlled trial, exploring the impact of a 4-week YoGI as add-on treatment. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants receiving YoGI (n = 19) in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) and a control group (n = 14) which only received TAU. Interviews were conducted at baseline (n = 33) and 4 weeks post-intervention (N = 28) to assess the participant’s experiences and how they changed over time. The interviews (N = 61) were audio-taped, translated, coded, and analyzed by means of inductive thematic analysis. Separate case summaries were prepared for each participant to analyze longitudinal changes within subjects. The research team members collaboratively discussed the final list of themes and subcodes. Rater-based questionnaires, such as the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), and Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) were administered at baseline to assess clinical outcomes.ResultsAt baseline, participants reported a desire to improve their stress- and symptom management. A minority of participants expressed reservations toward yoga, and several psychosocial barriers were named, including worries about symptom exacerbation. At post-intervention, four mechanisms of change became evident from the interviews: (1) acquiring competence in relaxation, (2) increased interoceptive awareness, (3) feeling connected, and (4) a sense of spiritual wellbeing. A small number of participants reported difficulties with YoGI.ConclusionGenerally, YoGI positively influenced participants’ experiences of their inpatient stay, regarding distress, self- and body awareness, social connectedness, and spiritual wellbeing. However, participants also illuminated necessary adjustments to improve the intervention. YoGI will therefore be adapted and further developed in an iterative process based on a participant involvement approach. The efficacy regarding outcomes and processes needs to be investigated in a future larger-scaled randomized controlled trial.
