Open accessAbstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group training of mindfulness-based techniques on improvement of psychological well-being of patients with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) covered by Tabriz Rehabilitation Organization. Material and Methods:To this aim, 30 patients with SCI were selected by cluster random sampling out of paralyzed people due to SCI from centers covered by Tabriz Welfare Organization.Then, they were randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control group (n=15).The experimental group received 8 sessions of mindfulness training, but the control group received no intervention.Both groups completed psychological well-being scale of Ryff as well as demographic questionnaire before and after the intervention.Results: Result of covariance analysis showed that mindfulness training affected improvement of self-acceptance (F=31.55,P<0.001), establishment of quality ties to others (F=31.55,P<0.001), a sense of autonomy (F=231.87,P<0.001), ability to manage complex environments (F=121.64,P<0.001), pursuit meaningful goals (F=212.15,P<0.001), continued growth and development as a person (F=747.09,P<0.001), and total score of psychological well-being (F=1212.83,P<0.001) of patients with SCI. Conclusion:The findings supported the effectiveness of mindfulness training on improvement of psychological well-being of patients with SCI, and such changes may occur due to mediating the role of recognition mechanism.

These barriers impede uptake of mindfulness in populations in which mindfulness has clear benefit for long-term self-management.
“These barriers impede the uptake of mindfulness in populations in which mindfulness has been shown to have clear benefit for long-term self-management, by improving self-acceptance, goal attainment, social integration, and self-development [17].”
From Grieving a disrupted biography: an interpretative phenomenological analysis exploring barriers to the use of mindfulness after neurological injury or impairment (2021) · cites this paper as [17]
The Discussion reports improved self-acceptance in people with spinal cord injury and describes gains related to meaningful goals, relationships, and personal growth. It does not establish a long-term self-management benefit or examine whether barriers impede uptake of mindfulness. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
