Mindfulness, a capacity for enhanced and sustained moment-to-moment awareness of one’s own mental and emotional state and being, has received growing attention from the public, researchers, and clinicians. There is increasing evidence for the clinical applications of mindfulness-based strategies in people suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, as well as behavior change in general. Stress and poor mental health have a large contributing role in the development of metabolic syndrome and associated conditions.
Additionally, stress and poor mental health are key factors in causing burnout among physicians. Similarly, evidence is growing to support the benefits of mindfulness-based techniques among practicing doctors all over the world. Strategies to improve physician’s wellbeing will lead to improved patient care.
This Research Topic will deepen our understanding of the clinical applications of mindfulness-based interventions among people living with metabolic syndrome, ranging from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity, as well as the utility of these interventions in reducing stress and burnout among practicing physicians. We will focus on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindful practice curriculum (MPC) and mindful eating.
We are especially interested in mindfulness-based interventions (including Mindfulness based stress reduction, Mindfulness based cognitive therapy, mindful eating, self-compassion strategies, mindful practice curriculum and other mindfulness interventions) for people living with diabetes, obesity, and increased cardiovascular risk, as well as impact of these interventions on wellbeing, burnout, and effectiveness of healthcare professionals
We welcome original research, opinion, review, mini review, perspective, systematic review articles, and original research articles in the form of randomized controlled trials and observational studies.
