“…Mindfulness-based programs for transplant patients have been tested in a few clinical studies including the following: (i) postsolid organ transplant recipients with traditional 8-week MBSR; 16,17,[32][33][34][35] (ii) patients undergoing stem cell transplant with 6-8 individual sessions 34 or multiple individual sessions plus daily meditation practice with CD; 32 (iii) patients with several years poststem cell transplant with an 8-week intervention similar to MBSR; 17 and (iv) caregivers of lung transplant recipients with an MBSR DVD. 18 Our intervention differed from these in that we integrated concepts from MBSR, ACT, and SMART with an abbreviated intervention that was arguably more scalable than the other in-person programs tested in transplant populations. By combining different concepts, we expected to provide an eclectic approach that would foster engagement of the intervention to a greater variety of individuals and also cover a range of concepts that have been shown to be associated with resilience.…”

“…Mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat‐Zin, has previously been studied in solid organ transplant patients, stem cell transplant patients, and caregivers, and it was found to improve stress levels and quality of life with sustained benefit in those who participated. MBSR is an 8‐week program (usually 2.5 to 3 h/wk plus and all day weekend class) that involves intensive meditation practice.…”

Solid organ and stem cell transplant patients and their caregivers report a substantial level of distress. Mindfulness-based stress reduction has been shown to alleviate distress associated with transplant, but there is limited experience in this population with other mindfulness-based interventions, or with combined transplant patient and caregiver interventions. We evaluated a novel, 6-week mindfulness-based resilience training (MBRT) class for transplant patients and their caregivers that incorporates mindfulness practice, yoga, and neuroscience of stress and resilience. Thirty-one heart, liver, kidney/pancreas, and stem cell transplant patients and 18 caregivers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona participated. Measures of stress, resilience, depression, anxiety, health-related quality of life, positive and negative affect, and sleep were completed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3 months postintervention. At 6 weeks and 3 months, patients demonstrated significant (P<.005) improvements from baseline in measures of perceived stress, depression, anxiety, and negative affect. Quality-of-life mental component (P=.006) and positive affect (P=.02) also improved at follow-up. Most participants adhered to the program, were satisfied with class length and frequency, and reported improved well-being as a result of the class. MBRT holds promise as an intervention to enhance resilience and manage stress for transplant patients and their caregivers.

“…Furthermore, all of the participants demonstrated positive changes in psychological health, and these effects persisted at the 18-month follow-up assessment. These positive changes in psychological health may have resulted from the mindfulness exercise, as previous research has also found that mindfulness interventions reduce STAI scores and increase FFMQ scores ( 23 , 24 ). In view of these findings, the mindfulness exercises designed to promote appropriate eating behavior in CBT-MIO were effective in improving participants' psychological health, as reflected by changes in their DEBQ, STAI, and FFMQ scores.…”

The Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With Mindfulness and an Internet Intervention for Obesity: A Case Series

It is difficult for obese (body mass index of more than 30) and overweight (body mass index of 25–30) people to reduce and maintain their weight. The aim of this case series was to examine the effectiveness of a new cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program that combines mindfulness exercises (e.g., the raisin exercise and breathing exercises) and an online intervention to prevent dropout and subsequent weight gain in overweight participants. This case series included three participants, for whom previous weight reduction programs had been unsuccessful. All participants completed the program (60-min, group sessions provided weekly for 9 weeks) and an 18-month follow-up assessment. Results showed that all participants succeeded in losing weight (loss ranged from 5.30 to 8.88% of their total body weight). Although rebound weight gain is commonly observed in the first year following initial weight loss, the follow-up assessment showed that participants achieved further weight loss during the 18-month follow-up period. These results suggest that a CBT program that comprises mindfulness and an online intervention may be an effective method for weight loss and maintenance, and may prevent dropout in obese and overweight individuals.Trial Registration: This case series was registered at www.umin.ac.jp with identifier UMIN000029664.

“…Implementing medical program by nurses including education, counsel, control and follow-up, Vest et al disclosed that patients' life quality has been both physically and mentally improved (29). In two separate studies, Haines and Cynthia showed the effectiveness of using Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) including 8-10 week groups sessions, body-relaxing training, yoga gestures, and meditation during daily activities in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress (30,31). Salesi stressed that less intense regular physical activities positively affected patients' depression, anxiety and stress (32).…”
