A Self-Compassion and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Mobile Intervention (Serene) for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress: Promoting Adaptive Emotional Regulation and Wisdom
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates 'Serene,' a mobile application integrating mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive restructuring techniques for managing depression, anxiety, and stress. The study compares a four-week intervention group against a wait-list control, measuring outcomes such as depressive symptoms, self-compassion, and emotional regulation. Results indicate significant improvements in self-compassion and reductions in depressive symptoms within the intervention group compared to controls.
