- Abstract
- Self-regulation, comprised of affective regulation, cognitive processing, and self-related processing, is increasingly researched as potentially influencing medical regimen adherence. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been implemented to improve self-regulation, the most established and prominent of which are Mindfulness- Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). The degree to which MBIs engage specific affect regulation measures have not been systematically reviewed. Furthermore, MBIs that are customized to their target population may have greater impact than those which are not customized. College students often live in high- stress conditions. MBIs have potential to enhance college students’ ability to
maintain healthy, happy lives in the midst of high-stress. The present study 1) examined which types and instruments associated with emotion-related processes are repeatedly used in trials of MBSR and MBCT using systematic review methodology and creation of an evidence map; and 2) evaluated impacts of the college-population customized Mindfulness-Based Intervention called Meditation, Mindfulness, and Health Training (MMHT) intervention on college students’ emotional well-being, assessed using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Secondary aims include additional affective outcomes (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Self-compassion Scale (SCS), Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSS), general health indicators (blood pressure, body mass index, sleep [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index], diet [Fruit and Vegetable Intake]) as well as cognitive performance (Adapted Graduate Records Examination Reading Comprehension, Trail Making Test), and levels of mindfulness (Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire [FFMQ]. This study served as a pilot for a randomized control trial currently underway, and a forthcoming meta-analysis will additionally assess the efficacy of the systematic review results presented here.
