Mindfulness-based techniques (MBTs) improve mindful attention awareness, self-reflection, cognitive reappraisal, and expressive suppression in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) compared to those not receiving MBTs. In a quasi-experimental study with 120 patients, those in the MBT group showed significantly greater improvements in all measured outcomes, including reductions in self-rumination. The findings suggest MBTs are a promising complementary intervention for MDD, and training nurses to deliver these techniques could enhance patient care. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess whether these benefits persist over time.

Mindful walking improved vitality, mindfulness, and rumination in older adults with depressive disorders, with the largest effect on vitality. The intervention had a smaller effect on agility. A quasi-experimental study with 35 participants in the intervention group and 33 in the control group measured outcomes using the Ruminative Responses Scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Timed Up and Go Test, and Subjective Vitality Scale. Effect sizes were η² = 0.168 for vitality, 0.137 for mindfulness, 0.127 for rumination, and 0.047 for agility. Integrating mindful walking into care plans may promote physical activity and mental well-being in this population.
