The benefits of meditation and mindfulness practices during times of crisis such as COVID-19
Open accessAbstract
Meditation and mindfulness are practices that can support healthcare professionals, patients, carers and the general public during times of crisis such as the current global pandemic caused by COVID-19. While there are many forms of meditation and mindfulness, of particular interest to healthcare professionals are those with an evidence base such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). Systematic reviews of such practices have shown improvements in measures of anxiety, depression and pain scores. Structural and functional brain changes have been demonstrated in the brains of people with a long-term traditional meditation practice, and in people who have completed a MBSR programme. Mindfulness and meditation practices translate well to different populations across the lifespan and range of ability. Introducing a mindfulness and meditation practice during this pandemic has the potential to complement treatment and is a low-cost beneficial method of providing support with anxiety for all.

Meditation and mindfulness have been proven beneficial during crises periods.
“In fact, meditation and mindfulness have been proven to be beneficial during crises periods [71].”

The Abstract and Introduction describe meditation and mindfulness as potentially beneficial during the COVID-19 crisis, and the Introduction cites reviews showing benefits for anxiety and stress. But the Introduction also says there was little peer-reviewed research evaluating these practices during the pandemic, so “proven” beneficial during crisis periods overstates the evidence presented. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe relationship between mindfulness and anxiety is direct.
“The relationship between mindfulness and anxiety is direct, as was suggested by previous studies [59,60].”
From Examining the associations between psychological flexibility, mindfulness, psychosomatic functioning, and anxiety during the covid-19 pandemic: A path analysis (2020) · cites this paper as [60]
The Introduction’s “Meditation and mindfulness” section reports that reviews of meditation-based practices found reduced anxiety. That supports a relationship between the practices and anxiety, but the paper does not establish that the relationship is direct rather than mediated by other factors; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMindfulness programs during a pandemic might reduce fear and anxiety and could help employees' mental health over time.
“Behan et al. (2020) suggests that mindfulness offered during a pandemic may allay fear and anxiety and potentially benefit employees long-term mental health.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
