Purpose: Purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Mindfulness Meditation program on perceived stress, ways of coping, salivary cortisol level, and psychological stress response in patients with breast cancer. Methods: This was a quasiexperimental study with a non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. Participants in this study were 50 patients who had completed breast cancer treatment (experimental group, 25, control group, 25). The experimental group received the Mindfulness Meditation program for 3 hours/session/ week for 8 weeks. Data were analyzed using $X^2$-test and t-test for subject homogeneity verification, and ANCOVA to examine the hypotheses. Results: The experimental group had significantly lower scores for perceived stress, emotional focused coping, salivary cortisol level, and psychological stress response compared to the control group. However, no significant differences were found between two groups for the scores on problem focused stress coping. Conclusion: According to the results, the Mindfulness Meditation program was useful for decreasing perceived stress, emotional focused coping, salivary cortisol level, and psychological stress response. Therefore, this program is an effective nursing intervention to decrease stress in patients with breast cancer.

Objectives: Interest in the use of complementary and alternative treatments to treat dementia. Meditation is used to treat various symptoms of physical and psychological diseases. Some studies suggest that meditation might have positive effects on cognitive functions, especially attention, in the elderly. However, how meditation affects Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients remains unclear. In this review, we assessed the effectiveness of practicing meditation in combination with standard care in AD. Methods: We searched the CCRCT, MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED and CINAHL databases on 30 May 2017. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used meditation in adult patients diagnosed with AD. We allocated patients to a meditation combined with standard care or a standard care-only group. Results: The two RCTs met the inclusion criteria. A total of 98 patients were included in the meditation with standard care and standard care-only groups in this review. All meditation programs in the included trials were based on practicing mindfulness. The results of our meta-analysis indicatedthat adjunctive mindfulness meditation programs exerted favourable but non-significant effects on cognitive function on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) (MD=4.68, 95% CI -0.11 to 9.46; Z=1.92, p=0.06). Only one study assessed depression, anxiety, quality of life and stress. No adverse events related to meditation were reported in the included studies. Conclusions: Insufficient data iscurrently available to determine the effectiveness of practicing meditation on patients diagnosed with AD. Hence, further RCTs with high methodological quality and larger sample sizes are needed to effectively estimate the effects of meditation on AD.

Background : Meditation is one of the healing therapies used to prevent and cure ailments and to improve health through regular practice. Although Meditation is within the paradigm of modern Western medical science, effects on the human body could be possible. Objectives : This study performed a systematic review of the literature published in Korea focused on mindfulness meditation (MM), which is being applied as mind-body therapy around the USA lately. Method : Three hundred sixty six articles were found after searching with keyword, 'mindfulness meditation (MM)' in 6 journals and web databases. Ninety papers related MM were analyzed trend, Seventeen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 38 controlled clinical trials (CCTs) were researched by systematic review. Result : Most of them were studies about relationship between MM and syndrome such as stress, depression, anxiety and MM was also applied to some disease like hypertension, temporomandibular joint disorder in some cases. In 55 studies, It was shown that MM has positive effects on various symptoms and sometimes the effect of MM showed at post and follow-up study although there was no significant difference between control group and experimental group in some cases according to outcome measurement. Interestingly, there was no study reported about side effects of MM after the application. Conclusions : MM is being clinically applied at both western and oriental hospital in Korea, but more clinical trials with the high quality are needed to support its scientific basis.

Objectives: Medical personnel are professionals subject to stressful situations and psychological distress. This case series reports the results of a mindfulness meditation program combined with digital health for medical personnel at a Korean medicine (KM) hospital. Methods: An online mindfulness program was implemented in 2022 to improve the mental health of nursing staff in a KM clinic. The online mindfulness program, which was supplemented based on previous results and limitations, was applied to KM doctors and nurses working at a KM hospital in this case series. An important difference from the existing case series was the introduction of a smartphone application that promoted the daily routine of meditation. A total of 7 medical personnel, including 4 doctors and 3 nurses, participated in the program. Results: After participating in the program, an increase in deep acting and a decrease in surface acting, which are aspects of emotional labor, were consistent with the results of a previous case series. However, the patterns of change in burnout and hwa-byung symptoms differed depending on the occupation of the participants. Participants' satisfaction with this program and the smartphone application and willingness to recommend it to colleagues were high. Conclusions: As this study was only a small case series, the author plans to continue to expand and improve the program based on the findings.

본 연구의 목적은 명상기반 중재 프로그램에서 자가수련을 촉진하기 위한 명상어플리케이션을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하려는 것이다. 명상기반 중재 프로그램들은 대체로 자가수련을 강조하는데, 자가수련의 동기를 높이고 자가수련을 더 할 수 있도록 하는 것은 중요한 문제이다. A 대학 교양강좌에 참여한 대학생들을 대상으로 8주간 한국형 마음챙김기반 스트레스 감소(K-MBSR) 프로그램을 실시하였다. 실험집단(N = 22)은 명상어플리케이션을 제공하고 비교집단(N = 19)은 명상어플리케이션을 제공하지 않았다. 자가수련량은 참여자들이 기록한 수련일지를 토대로 수련시간을 계산하였다. 집단 간 심리적 효과의 차이를 확인하기 위해 마음챙김, 신체자각의 하위요인(감각자각, 감각복귀), 삶의 만족, 수용행동, 수면의 질을 사전과 사후에 측정하였다. 자가수련량은 실험집단이 비교집단에 비해 유의하게 더 많았다. 명상 효과는 실험집단이 비교집단에 비해 마음챙김, 신체자각, 삶의 만족, 수용행동, 수면의 질에서 더 높았다. 본 연구의 결과는 명상어플리케이션이 명상기반 중재 프로그램의 효과를 증진하는 보조수단으로서 유용함을 입증하는 것이다. 향후 연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 우울성향을 가지고 있는 중년여성을 대상으로 차명상 프로그램이 마음챙김과 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 효과성을 파악하기 위함이다. B시 B대학 평생교육원에 자발적으로 등록한 경도-중등도의 우울증을 경험하는 20명을 선발하여, 실험 및 통제집단에 각 10명씩 무선 할당하였다. 실험집단 참여자는 매주 2회씩 80분 동안 5주에 걸쳐 10회기의 차명상 프로그램 참여하였다. 마음챙김 수준과 심리적 안녕감을 사전, 사후, 추후에 각각 측정하여 반복측성 분산분석을 실시한 결과, 실험집단 참여자들은 통제집단의 참여자들보다 마음챙김 수준이 유의미하게 증가하였으며, 심리적 안녕감도 유의미한 수준의 증가를 보여주었다. 심리적 안녕감의 하위 요인인 자기 수용성, 긍정적 대인관계, 자율성, 환경통제, 삶의 목적 및 개인적 성장이 사후 및 추후 시점에서 각각 유의미한 수준으로 증가는 것으로 나타났다. 차명상 프로그램이 우울성향을 치유하고, 심리적 안녕감을 증진시킨다는 선행연구를 지지하고 있다. 따라서 본 차명상 프로그램은 우울성향을 가진 중년여성들의 마음챙김 능력을 함양하고, 삶의 질을 개선하기 위한 새로운 대안적 프로그램임을 시사한다. 본 연구에서 한계점과 향후 후속연구에서 필요성을 제언하였다.

This research aimed to determine how a combined yoga and tea meditation program would affect the happiness of adolescents. The investigation was conducted over a total of 11 sessions held twice a week with 15 female middle-school students. Each session lasted 90 min and comprised preparation for 5 min, Hatha yoga for 50 min, tea meditation for 15 min, the expression of feelings for 15 min, and 5 min were allocated to finishing the program and announcing the next session time. A t-test was performed before and after the program to analyze the effects of the program. A goodness of fit test, which is related to the improvement of happiness, was done through a path analysis. As a result, we were able to determine meaningful changes in the t-test scores of happiness, stress, and quality of life. The scores of mindfulness, physical self-concept, and self efficiency changed positively, but meaningful changes were not shown. To derive a final conclusion, we verified the mediator effect with respect to happiness through a structural model. Consequently, physical self-concept was activated as a promoter for improving self-efficiency and mindfulness. Mindfulness was the key factor that improved the happiness of the adolescent subjects.
