Mindfulness and Diabetes Distress: Acceptability of Self-Led Mindfulness-Based Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study had two primary aims. First, the investigators examined the associations between mindfulness and diabetes-related outcomes. It was hypothesized that at baseline, increased mindfulness would be associated with decreased diabetes distress and more optimal glycemic levels and that all three variables would share similar associations with related constructs including greater self-compassion, lower general stress, better psychosocial health, increased diabetes treatment engagement, and greater diabetes-related quality of life. The association between specific aspects of dispositional mindfulness and diabetes distress was also explored. Second, the investigators examined the acceptability, feasibility, and potential utility of self-led MBSR intervention. It was hypothesized that participation in a self-led MBSR intervention would be feasible and acceptable, evidenced by treatment attrition and participant feedback. It was also hypothesized that participants who received the self-led Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention would experience increased mindfulness and decreased diabetes distress compared to a waitlist control group.
