Purpose/objective: There is emerging evidence for the use of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to improve health outcomes in the context of stroke rehabilitation. This scoping review identified recently available evidence and possible research gaps regarding how MBIs affect psychological and physical rehabilitation outcomes in individuals poststroke.
Research Method/design: Electronic searches were performed using the four major databases, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Sixteen studies out of a total of 404 relevant studies met the selection criteria for inclusion in this review.
Results: Our findings indicate diverse results on the benefits of MBIs in individuals poststroke across a range of rehabilitative outcomes. For instance, significant improvements in mental fatigue, cognition, and quality of life were observed for most of the studies while the outcomes for mood and physical functioning were mixed.
Conclusions/implications: The available evidence lends qualified support to the view that mindfulness has the potential to be a therapeutic intervention that offers health benefits to individuals poststroke. Yet, the diversity of results highlights the need for a more rigorous examination in further research. We also identified several knowledge gaps in mindfulness research in the stroke population, such as the limited amount of evidence for mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), inadequate evaluations of physical outcomes, and the lack of methodologically robust trials. Further investigations are warranted to strengthen the evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of MBIs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Background: Recognizing perceived stress as a modifiable cognitive risk factor, mindfulness-based programs emerge as promising for stress mitigation in older adults with Mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, existing research, primarily observational and focused on chronic patients and caregivers, necessitates developing and evaluating MCI-specific mindfulness interventions.
Design: A two-arm and assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Background: Care partners (CPs) of people with dementia suffer from chronic stress impacting their mental and physical health. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms in CPs. Mindfulness-Based Dementia Care (MBDC) is an adaptation of MBSR tailored to CPs.

Background: In this study humanoid robots were programmed to deliver mindfulness-based stress relief therapy to individuals with dementia. Precisely programmed, these robots aim to enhance well-being, providing tailored interventions for relaxation, mood enhancement, and heightened cognition in dementia care, showcasing technology's promise in improving overall quality of life [1, 2, 3, 4].
Methods: In this study, the humanoid robot was programmed with a carefully AI based design protocol incorporating calming activities, guided breathing exercises, and interactive engagement, tailored to the cognitive abilities and preferences of individuals with dementia, to effectively deliver mindfulness-based stress relief therapy.

Background/purpose: Rural adults and children are at higher risk for overweight and obesity. However, there are relatively few lifestyle modification programs available for these high-risk families, mainly because of the difficulty in reaching them. This mindfulness-based motivational interviewing (MM-based-MI) pilot aimed to improve parents' healthy eating index (HEI), collective family efficacy, family satisfaction, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms as well as parent-child dyads' eating patterns, physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI).
