Abstract
Objectives
With the development of new digital technologies, the dissemination of digital mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) has spread notably in recent years. However, questions remain about their empirical validity and their effectiveness and limitations in addressing clinically relevant mechanisms. We sought to examine the efficacy of self-administered digital MBIs for the treatment of repetitive negative thinking (RNT).
Method
Studies were identified from electronic databases of Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, PubMed, and ProQuest. Three reviewers independently scanned articles for inclusion and data extraction. Additional mindfulness and RNT research indicators were obtained through descriptive data visualization techniques using bibliometric analysis.
Results
Eleven RCTs and two pilot RCTs were included with a total of 4509 participants. At post-treatment, ten studies reported statistically significant improvements in the condition of the MBIs in measures of RNT compared to control with effect sizes ranging from small to large (d = 0.18;0.77), and three studies found no evidence of significant effects associated with digital MBIs. However, the poor quality of some of the findings given the risk of bias assessment means that these results should be interpreted with discretion.
Conclusions
Digital MBIs could be considered a promising alternative to decrease RNT and increase mindfulness skills compared to other active and passive control conditions. However, more studies with higher methodological quality, better-balanced samples, longer follow-ups, and a more rigorous evaluation of their possible adverse effects are required.
Preregistration
This study was retrospectively registered on PROSPERO (Ref No: CRD42023389700).
期刊介绍：
Mindfulness seeks to advance research, clinical practice, and theory on mindfulness. It is interested in manuscripts from diverse viewpoints, including psychology, psychiatry, medicine, neurobiology, psychoneuroendocrinology, cognitive, behavioral, cultural, philosophy, spirituality, and wisdom traditions. Mindfulness encourages research submissions on the reliability and validity of assessment of mindfulness; clinical uses of mindfulness in psychological distress, psychiatric disorders, and medical conditions; alleviation of personal and societal suffering; the nature and foundations of mindfulness; mechanisms of action; and the use of mindfulness across cultures. The Journal also seeks to promote the use of mindfulness by publishing scholarly papers on the training of clinicians, institutional staff, teachers, parents, and industry personnel in mindful provision of services. Examples of topics include: Mindfulness-based psycho-educational interventions for children with learning, emotional, and behavioral disorders Treating depression and clinical symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure Yoga and mindfulness Cognitive-behavioral mindfulness group therapy interventions Mindfulnessness and emotional regulation difficulties in children Loving-kindness meditation to increase social connectedness Training for parents and children with ADHD Recovery from substance abuse Changing parents’ mindfulness Child management skills Treating childhood anxiety and depression
