AI Article Synopsis
- The systematic review included 13 studies with 1,131 participants, showing that Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) significantly reduced depressive and PTSD symptoms, with medium effect sizes.
- MBSR also improved mindfulness in veterans, with some treatment effects maintained at follow-up for depression and mindfulness, though not for PTSD symptoms.
- There were no notable differences in outcomes between MBSR and other therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy or person-centered group therapy.
Article Abstract
Thirteen studies were included in the current systematic review and meta-analysis with 1131 participants. Both within- and between-group comparisons demonstrated reductions in depressive and PTSD symptoms with medium effect sizes post MBSR intervention. Additionally, MBSR demonstrated small effects in improving mindfulness in veterans at post-intervention. Maintenance of treatment effects were observed at follow-up for the three outcomes during within-group comparisons. Treatment effects were maintained at follow-up between-groups for depression and mindfulness, but not for PTSD symptoms. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between MBSR and cognitive behavioural therapy/person-centred group therapy intervention groups in the three outcomes.
