Abstract
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have gained popularity as effective approaches for reducing stress and enhancing psychological well-being. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examines the impact of MBIs on stress reduction across diverse populations and settings. Drawing from a systematic review of the literature, the meta-analysis synthesizes effect sizes from RCTs that assess the effectiveness of various MBIs, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), in reducing perceived stress levels. Additionally, it explores potential moderators of intervention efficacy, including intervention duration, format, and participant characteristics.
