Interventions
Mindfulness is a type of mind-body therapy that promotes a practice of non-judgmental awareness that can alleviate distress by uncoupling emotional reactions and habitual behavior from unpleasant symptoms, thoughts, and emotions. LIFT is a mobile mindfulness app which can assess levels of emotional distress via survey, and subsequently offer mindfulness content that has previously been used in ICU patients, where it was shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
