Changes in mindfulness skills and treatment response among veterans in residential PTSD treatment.
Abstract
Recent research has explored the use of mindfulness principles as a component in treatments for various mental health difficulties, although limited research has explored the relationships between mindfulness and PTSD. Therefore, the current study assessed the relationships between mindfulness skills and PTSD and depression severity for a veteran sample (N 149) in a residential PTSD treatment program. Although overall mindfulness skills did not change significantly over the course of treatment, specific subscales of the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) were negatively associated with clinician-rated measures of PTSD and depression. Veterans who reported greater improvement on Acting with Awareness skills over the course of treatment had lower levels of clinician-rated PTSD and depression at posttreatment.

Higher mindfulness is associated with lower PTS in veterans in treatment for PTSD.
“Two other studies found higher mindfulness assessed with the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (Baer, Smith, & Allen, 2004) to be associated with lower PTS in veterans in treatment for PTSD (Owens, Walter, Chard, & Davis, 2012)”

There is increasing evidence that mindfulness interventions are useful for PTS.
“There is increasing evidence that these interventions are indeed useful (Owens et al., 2012;Vujanovic et al., 2016).”

“For example, there is evidence that dispositional mindfulness increases following cognitive behavioral therapies (Boden et al., 2012; Owens et al., 2012), and acceptance skills are particularly important for symptom improvement following interdisciplinary acceptancebased therapy (McCracken, Vowles, & Eccleston, 2005).”

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.
