People with psychosis improve affective social cognition and self-care after a mindfulness-based social cognition training program (SocialMIND).

Objective: This study explores whether social cognition and social functioning improve after a mindfulness-based social cognition training (SocialMIND).

Methods: Thirty-eight outpatients with psychosis completed an assessment with social cognition (Eyes Test, Ambiguous Intentions and Hostility Questionnaire [AIHQ], and Hinting Task) and social functioning tasks (Personal and Social Performance [PSP] scale) before and after eight SocialMIND weekly sessions. Mean differences between timepoints were standardized and 95% confidence intervals were obtained with a paired samples t-test.

Implementation of a Mindfulness-Based Crisis Intervention for Frontline Healthcare Workers During the COVID-19 Outbreak in a Public General Hospital in Madrid, Spain.

The COVID-19 outbreak is having an impact on the well-being of healthcare workers. Mindfulness-based interventions have shown effectiveness in reducing stress and fostering resilience and recovery in healthcare workers. There are no studies examining the feasibility of brief mindfulness-based interventions during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Clinical trials of psychological interventions cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak: how should we respond?

The measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak have no precedent in the recent history of many countries. Around 2,000 million people in the world are in isolation or quarantine, and gatherings of people have been expressly banned in many countries. In Spain, this prohibition affects workplaces, schools, and the national health system, where most of the healthcare is being provided either on the phone or online.
