Mindfulness Intervention and Relapse in Psychosis
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong
Summary
Practicing mindfulness is popular and well-accepted for its benefits in improving mental and physical health. In particular, its benefits in promoting resilience to stress and well-being have been shown in studies involving different psychiatric conditions, as well as preventing relapse in patients with depressive disorders. However, its role in relapse prevention among patients with psychosis has not been tested. The investigators therefore propose a multi-site, single-blind, 12-month randomized controlled trial in Hong Kong to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention in prevention of relapse among 152 remitted psychosis patients.
