Effectiveness of online mindfulness-based interventions in improving mental health: A review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Overview
This meta-analysis reviews fifteen randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered mindfulness-based interventions on mental health outcomes. The study reports small but significant beneficial effects on depression, anxiety, well-being, and mindfulness, with a moderate effect observed for stress reduction. It further examines how intervention guidance levels and session counts influence these results.
