Mind-body interventions

The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on the Working Memory in College Students Previous research studies have exhibited evidence towards the relationship between meditation and improved academic scores (Foris, 2005). With meditation becoming a widely popular topic, especially for its benefits in the reduction of stress and anxiety, it is questioned whether the use of proper mindfulness meditation has positive effects on the working memory and if so, do those effects differentiate between males and females. The use of meditation not only involves awareness of breathing patterns and the self, but also branches out into multiple practices, including the body scan, walking meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. “Mindfulness” in itself can be portrayed on many levels, including mindfulness as a state, mindfulness as a trait, and as used here; mindfulness as a training or practice (Bueno, Kozasa, Aparecida da Silva, Alves, Rodrigues Louza, Pompeia, 2014). Past studies have shown that there is a difference present in the working memory between males and females including the difference in the part of the brain being activated when completing a difficult task (Speck, Ernst, Braun, Koch, & Miller; 2000). The ability to report results supporting the benefits and differences of mindful meditation in males’ and females’ working memory could lead to further research towards the most helpful meditation based on gender. Several studies (Quach, Jastrowski Mano, & Alexander, 2015;…

nature, including religious tensions, non-violent political movements(e.g. imposition of a strong ideology: the war against communism in general for example, although it did contain elements of violence in certain regimes) as well as referendums. In light of the formal definition of a conflict, which is “a serious disagreement or argument, typically a protracted one,” perhaps it would be more suitable to understand the term as any prolonged significant dispute over major political, religious,…

Brief Summary of study In this article, the authors conducted an experimental study to examine the effect of three different interventions on reducing the domestic assault. The three interventions were arrest, ordering the offender to leave the house, and providing advice. These three interventions were given randomly to 33 officers (some of them did not continue the study which made the researchers to gather more officers) who attended workshops to be prepared to this study. After the…

accurately identify the signals means failure of any intervention. Secondly, the worker should not get impatient if one intervention doesn’t work; be always patience. He has to remain calm and listen actively because overreacting just leads to further problems. We have to give full attention to the client. Try to remain/reduce all the distractions because they only increase the client’s frustration level. (Saskatchewan Polytechnic, p. 35, 36). We also have to take care of individual…

The search terms were: “delirium”, “ICU”, “bundle” and “prevention”. Also the references from retrieved articles were included in search. The inclusion criteria were: a) publication year 2012 to 2017, b) English language, c) geography limited to continental Europe, US and Canada, d) ICU settings. Qualitative studies and literature reviews were excluded. In total, ten articles met criteria, and five articles were selected. There are several different frameworks and ICU care bundles used to…

However, these studies primarily focus on the intervention working to improve reading fluency over a short period of time. Few studies have been conducted to determine the long-term effects of these interventions or the efficiency of using these interventions in a severely time constrained classroom setting. Can students and parents continue these interventions at home to further push these children to maximum improvements in reading? It is difficult to study the latter question because of the…

increase in home-based early intervention services beimg more culturally sensitive towards the children and families that they deal with and this is very important. As the years pass the population of families with children who have a disability, mental health issue and who are delayed become more socioculturally, linguistically, ethnically, and diverse. It is expected that interventionists work well with families who challenge them to provide home-based intervention services in different, but…

focused concentration whereby a person less aware of their surroundings. As such, therapists involved in mind-body medicine use hypnotherapy to treat psychological and physical conditions with the individual whom the therapy is conducted on accepting suggestions that may help change their behavior. Hypnotherapy is geared toward helping a person to solve their own problems although it does not work for everyone since no one can be hypnotized unwillingly. Hypnosis is believed to cause the brain to…

(Kolcaba, 2003). Comfort Theory delineates a bidirectional relationship between patient’s comfort, behaviors that move the patient toward well-being, and institutional outcomes. Nurses identify the patient’s comfort needs unmet by existing support systems and design interventions to address those needs. The outcomes of care are influenced by intervening variables. However, the influence of intervening variables can and should be mitigated in the design of patient specific…
