Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for Improving Health, Quality of Life, and Social Functioning in Adults
Overview
This systematic review analyzes 31 randomized studies involving 1,942 participants to evaluate the impact of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on health, quality of life, and social functioning. The authors report that MBSR yields moderate positive effects on mental health and personal development for individuals with somatic or mild-to-moderate psychological issues, as well as community members. While effects on somatic health were smaller and data on social functioning was limited, no adverse effects were noted in the reviewed literature.
