Examining the factor structure
Compassion has received increasing societal and scientific interest in recent years. The science of compassion requires a tool that can offer valid reliable measurement the construct to allow examination its causes, correlates, consequences. current studies developed examined psychometric properties new self-report measures for others self, 20-item Sussex-Oxford Others Scale (SOCS-O) Self (SOCS-S).

While there was no significant effect on primary outcome, a measure general psychological distress, results showed between-group...
The phenomenological diversity of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) is not currently accounted for by any model based around a single mechanism. This has led to the proposal that there may be distinct AVH subtypes, which each possess unique (as well as shared) underpinning mechanisms. could have important implications both research design and clinical interventions because different subtypes responsive types treatment. article explores how identified at levels phenomenology, cognition,...
Building on previous research, this study compared the effects of two brief, online mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs; with and without formal meditation practice) a no intervention control group in non-clinical sample. One hundred fifty-five university staff students were randomly allocated to 2-week, self-guided, MBI or mindfulness practice, wait list control.

ADIE targets the association with mismatch between subjective and behavioral measures an individual's interoceptive sensitivity to bodily signals, including heartbeats.MethodsIn this superiority randomized controlled trial, adults (18–65 years) from clinical community settings Southern England were randomly assigned (1:1) receive six sessions or active...
Depression is common with a high risk of relapse/recurrence. There evidence from multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrating the efficacy mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for prevention depressive relapse/recurrence, and it included in several national clinical guidelines this purpose. However, little known about whether MBCT being delivered safely effectively real-world healthcare settings. In present study, five mental health services range regions UK contributed data (
Healthcare workers play a critical role in the health of nation, yet rates healthcare worker stress are disproportionately high. We evaluated whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for life (MBCT-L), could reduce and target range secondary outcomes. Method: This is first parallel randomised controlled trial MBCT-L. Participants were NHS workers, who randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either MBCT-L or wait-list. The primary outcome was self-reported at post-intervention. Secondary...
Health care workers experience high stress. Accessible, affordable, and effective approaches to reducing stress are lacking. In-person mindfulness-based interventions can reduce health worker but not widely available or accessible busy workers. Unguided, digital, self-help (MBSH) show promise be flexibly engaged with. However, their effectiveness in has yet been explored a definitive trial.
Compassion has long been regarded as a core part of our humanity by contemplative traditions, and in recent years, it received growing research interest. Following review existing conceptualisations, compassion defined consisting the following five elements: 1) recognising suffering, 2) understanding universality suffering human experience, 3) feeling moved person emotionally connecting with their distress, 4) tolerating uncomfortable feelings aroused (e.g., fear, distress) so that we remain...
In order to increase the cost-efficiency, availability and ease of accessing delivering mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), clinical research interest in self-help (MBSH) has increased recent years. Several studies have shown promising results effectiveness MBSH. However, like all interventions, dropout rates disengagement from MBSH are high. The current study explored facilitators barriers engaging a intervention. Semi-structured interviews with members healthcare staff who took part an...
