Abstract:
Context: Mindfulness-based interventions have shown promising therapeutic outcomes in improving well-being, mental health, general health, and quality of life, however, findings in this regard are inconsistent. The present study aimed at clarifying this inconsistency in the literature focusing on the Iranian studies through a systematic review and meta-analysis study.
Evidence Acquisition: The databases of Pubmed, Scopus, Doaj, EBSCO, Iranmedex, MagIran, SID, and Comprehensive Human Sciences Portal, and additional resources were searched using the set terms of mindfulness OR mindfulness-based cognitive therapy OR MBCT OR mindfulness-based stress reduction OR MBSR AND intervention AND well-being OR health OR quality of life and the time limit of the records was set between March 2008 and May 2017. The language of the search was restricted to English and Farsi. The studies that conducted on Iranian populations were selected in this review, only. Thirty-five studies conducted on 3013 subjects were assessed. Cochrane Q-test and I-squared index were used to detect the heterogeneity among results, and fixed effect model with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was applied. The effect size of mindfulness-based interventions on well-being, mental health, general health, and quality of life improvement, measured by Hedge`s g ratios, were respectively 1.54, 1.08, 0.89, and 1.87.
