Abstract

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a non-invasive psychological therapy based on mindfulness developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979. The potential of MBSR includes improving mental health, enhancing working performance, and reducing mental stress. This literature review aims to: evaluate the effect of MBSR on stress reduction in different subject groups and examine the outcome of MBSR on various physiological and structural measurements. The literature review is based on 40 articles then narrowed down to 25 articles published from 2010 to 2019. The keywords to search for these articles were: MBSR, Electroencephalogram signal, stress, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, cortisol, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy. Subjects participated in the MBSR course. These studied populations, selected based on standard criteria DSM-IV, included one control group and one intervention group. Measurement stage comprises pre- and post-intervention by using three types of questionnaires: Mental Health Scale (MHS) and Mindfulness Scale and other scales. Besides, several studies combined common physiological and structural assessments. The reviewed studies show that MBSR is effective in several subject groups, including Social Anxiety Disorder patients, employees, and students. Other groups with more severe psychological symptoms have not benefited significantly. The questionnaire score reflects a significant improvement, whereas biological measurements as heart rate, brain imaging, or cortisol level do not show consistent change. The limitation of these studies is that there is a lack of a control group. In conclusion, MBSR has effects on mental health and mindfulness for a wide range of subjects. It is suggested that people who have mild psychological disorders should practice MBSR frequently to reduce symptoms. For future studies, the control group and repeated measure designs should be implemented for better results.
