Mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR) for improving health, quality of life and social functioning in adults: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the impact of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on mental and physical health, quality of life, and social functioning in adults. The authors report that MBSR demonstrates moderately large effects on these outcomes compared to inactive controls, with benefits generally maintained over follow-up periods of up to 34 months. While the review notes potential inflation of results due to heterogeneity and underreporting of negative trials, it also finds small but significant advantages over other active treatments for mental health.
