Javier Garc?a-Campayo , and colleagues
Background Previous research demonstrates positive effects from mindfulness-based interventions in diverse clinical and nonclinical populations. This study analyzes existing research to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in primary care patients.
What This Study Found Mindfulness-based interventions are promising for the mental health and quality of life of primary care patients.
Implications
- The number of randomized controlled trials applying mindfulness-based interventions in primary care is still limited and there is insufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions about the effects of such interventions in this setting.
